exotic means from a foreign country so whats exotic to you really depends on where you are are what you are use too

I think Elias is the best from your list as its unusual but not 'odd' so might fit both you and your DH wants in a name... Elijah is similar and also a great name

Cassius is ok too but not my taste and it faces pronunciation issues as some people say 'Cass-ee-us' and some say 'Cash-us'

What did you go for in the end OP?

Smythering · 08/06/2020 21:06

Sorry OP didn’t see this, it is pronounced Neh-my-ah
Hope your baby has arrived safe and sound Smile
Good luck for the future x

You're welcome to like whatever you want, OP, of course. It's just what sprung to my mind when I saw it.

I do like the name Elias very much. Eli is a base for a lot of great names: Elijah (saw you thought that was too popular), Elihu (pronouned Ell-ih-hew), even Eliphaz.

And Cassius is a spectacular name. If you like classic Roman names and their derivations, you can also think about Lucian, Aurelius, Marius, or Felix.

Amari is also lovely. It's often a girl's name in the UK, but in America it's very much unisex--there's a great American football player named Amari Cooper, for example.

Nancydrawn · 11/05/2020 04:49

I'm glad you've found something you like, OP.

Personally I'd be careful of things like Tareyon etc. as they sound Game of Thrones-y, which will no doubt soon sound very dated.

Good luck!

PS: if you do go Christopher, I'm always a sucker for Kit as a nickname.

AvoidingRealHumans · 11/05/2020 00:00

I must say I do love Cassius but probably coz I have one myself.
I'm glad it's getting suggested now and then as when I had him I got asked if I had made the name up Confused good luck with the birth, I'm sure when you see baby you will know exactly what to name him
