Due a baby boy end of may, need some unusual baby names, but not so common..
Me and my husband can’t agree on a name, he wants to wait till the baby’s born but I’d like to pick a name now.
I have a few on my list however he doesn’t agree he thinks we should have a nice traditional name !

Our girl is called amaya
Some of my boy choices are-
Eliyas
Cassius
Trey
Tareyon

Maybe it will become clear once you’ve met him? Casimir is originally polish but that’s the English and French spelling cos that’s what our family is.

If you’re making up names go for ones that look easy to pronounce!

Tareyon sounds like it should be spelt darion to me...

Best of luck with everything x

Jerry- Jeremiah , although it may be too similar to your daughters name.

Christan instead of Christopher
Nate - Nathaniel

Amaya and Ruben sound nice!

littlejalapeno · 01/05/2020 13:20

Casimir, after a family member. Have you got any closer to deciding?

Zacharia, Elias, Sami, are Moroccan names without being too obviously religious and work nicely with Amayah

Haha love it but I don’t think my husband would agree as I fancy the pants of idris Elba haha

How about Idris OP? It's a Welsh and Arabic name: www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2014/07/idris.html

As an arabic name it is one of the prophets of Islam. In Wales it is associated with an ancient myth.

It's not a brand new name, people have heard of Mr Elba so will be familiar with how to say and spell it, but there probably won't be 5 in his class either.
