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

Thanks Calista

Yeh it’s an Arabic name as she was conceived in Morocco lol.

I actully love Arabic names, Bulgarian/ British her dads Caribbean, hence why I like the unusual names my daughters very exotic looking so I feel I need to give him more exotic name, amayah doesn’t really go with Christopher lol

I would avoid a Junior name. I think children deserve their own name in a family. Christopher would make a nice middle name for a shorter name.

What about:

Asa
Asher
Amos
Saul
Silas
Edmund
Nicholas (Nico)
Raphael
Gabriel
Tristan

Traditional/biblical names but not overly common.

I'm assuming DH agreed to naming your daughter Amaya i.e. it was your idea but he liked it as well? You have to find something you both like.
