Hey just wondered if I could have some ideas on unusual boy names! I like names with 2 syllables or more 🤣

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

How unusual? You can look up the popularity of names each year online and go as far down this list as you want. I opted for a name ranked around 250th in popularity (so not very) but it’s a name that everyone knows. So it’s unusual but people do generally seem to like it I think it’s just never been overly popular as the anglicised version of it is much more so.

I went through historic lists - for DS1 I have a name that's unusual, but not hard to spell for an English person. DS2 wasn't quite so lucky, but it shortens to a common name if he ever needs it.

My only advice is wait as long as you can. I think that you can see if a name suits a child after a bit!
