I am so stuck. I have girls' names galore, please give me nice slightly arty boys' names that won't get hugely popular in a year or two

Walnutshell those are really unusual, I haven't heard of any of them before
I don't think I would use a name I hadn't previously heard of

Chay Blythe the yachtsman. Sometimes spelt Shay

I've met a little boy called Archer and I 've seen it in a name book. I love it, a bit cooler than Archie I think.

Claude and Charles are too posh for us

winestein I have one also - have trawled through it and made list and failed to find anything marvellous

sometimes when I see someone post a name on here I think ah YES

it's much better in context sometimes isn't it?

I think I still have my dictionary of a billion and one baby names knocking about somewhere. Virtually every (real) name under the sun. You can have it if you want?
