Uncommon boy name

88 replies

Help me fellow name enthusiasts! We need a boy name pretty pronto! We like underused (but known) names and prefer to avoid surname style names. We like names that work fairly well internationally. Ideally we would like to avoid anything deemed too trendy too. To give you an idea, names we (or at least one of us) like include caspar, jasper, Raphael, felix, ivo.

Thanks

It’s definitely Conrad

4 pages in and 77 posts later and you still want more names!?!

I assume you've tried regular name sites and the suggestions that come up that are similar to the names you like?

Rushesandflushes · 25/09/2021 22:29

Thank you all for your replies, and sorry for taking ages to reply! There are loads of lovely names here. I agree that Sebastian is lovely but definitely popular. Other ones I like but can't use are:

  • Raphael
  • Ansel
  • Axel
  • Asa
  • Idris
  • Edmund
  • August / Augustus
  • Basil
  • Lex

Felix is still probably at the top of the list, though I worry a little about its popularity. Any others?

thanks!

Please tell me someone's not actually named their child Urban.
