"Unusual" varies from place to place and quickly changes in time so I wouldn't worry too much about being different and just go with something you like.

Names I like that aren't overly used in my area are:
Caleb
Cian
Evan
Isaac
Josh(ua)
Lucas
Nathan
Niall
Rafe
Robin
Thomas
Xavier
Xander

@Cissyandflora only just saw your rude reply. We are a dual national German-British family

I like dyoovet’s suggestion of Stellan. I know it’s Swedish but not hard to say and not wholly unfamiliar due to Stellan Skarsgård. I’ve never met a wee Lonnie (short for Laurence), that’s a cool name.

PolarnOPirate · 16/04/2021 07:44

Howie!!! Love that. Great shout. Like from the Really Wild Show.

Herbie

DS' name is v unusual and never comes up on these lists, but someone saw his peg at nursery and named their new baby the same - so it's clearly an awesome name with the potential to catch on so I am not going to share Grin
