Can't find a boy's name that I love

Our daughter has a very uncommon name but it also doesn't sound unusual/out there. I would like something similar for a boy

In that case your original suggestions are way too popular/fashionable - they'll soon sound dated imo.

How about

Conrad
Marcus
Quentin
Raphael
Edmund
Dominic

All way more timeless but well known names that are easy to say & spell.

We seem to have similar taste in names. Billy, George, Leo and Toby are all on my list and we've fully decided on one of these!

I also really like Louis, Lucas and Jude.

Dislike Rory, Reuben, and Joshua!

Herod

I dare you

Billy = naughty kid
Louis = confusion over whether it's Lou eee or Lou iss
Jacob = not bad
Joshua = naughty kid
Lucas = naughty kid
Seth = nice kid, bit boring
Jude = naughty kid
George = lovely
Reuben = sounds like Ruby bit girly
Jonah = meh
Rory = lovely
Leo = lovely
Toby = meh

Suggestions. Blake. Cole. Simon. David. Christopher. Edward. Ross.

I've fallen in love with it and I will keep suggesting it until one of you use it! 😂

I like
Luca (similar to Lucas)
Rex

I like Louis.

Also:

Magnus
Asa
Ludovic (I know a Ludo in his 40's, always liked the name)
Barnaby

Painter with the middle name decorator 😂

Elliott, Edward, Edmund, Eric,
Richard, Elias, Joseph, Francis

“Uncommon but not unusual/out- there” - I’d say Seth from your list is a good shout. It’s well known (possibly as it’s better used in the States and we are all exposed to US pop culture) as well as Biblical and simple to say and spell but it’s quite underused in the UK already and falling further in popularity. Most of your other picks are either much more popular currently or a lot trendier and rising quickly in popularity (even if they aren’t Top 100 yet.)

Another idea might be to look for names that have mostly never quite “made it” in terms of top popularity (possibly because some of them are quite similar to names that have) -thinking of names like Marcus, Nathaniel, Owen, Evan, Tristan, Benedict, Dominic, Joel. Or consider names that were so well used 50 years ago, but are now a bit more unusual - John, Robert, Peter, Simon, Jonathan, Nicholas.

We have VERY similar taste in names 🤣

This is my list:

Jude
Ellis
Leo
George
Oliver
Sebastian
Seth
Jonah
Asa
Cole
Elijah
Isaac

DH wants Jacob, Reuben or Rory but I'm not overly keen on them

None of your list seem to fit your want for unusual but not too out there, they are all very common

Billy - the kid. No
Louis - very popular and I find it a bit meh
Jacob - lovely, but I know 2 baby Jacobs so must be quite popular

Joshua - love but dislike Josh sould wouldn't use

Lucas - lovely

Seth - i really hate Seth

Jude - nice but very popular

George - i just find it a bit dull

Reuben - like

Jonah - nice

Rory - like but seems very popular. I think it will date

Leo - nice enough but again very popular

Toby - not a fan but love Tobias

A few suggestions

Nathaniel
Roiben
Rufus
Rafe
Patrick
Elliott
Euan
Lawrence
Otis
Raphael
Gabriel
Adam
Scott
Willoughby
Cormac
Hamish
Everett

I like Eric.
How about Otto,@Dobbycraft ?

Colin's nice but like Alan, Graham, Neil, Paul etc it's not the current style.

I like Colin🤷🏼‍♀️ I know its reviled on here, but I've never heard it mocked IRL. Eric OTOH is not a great choice if there is even a remote chance the kid will be doing GCSE English Lit...

Definitely agree that your list features more popular boy names. I like Reuben the best from it.
Alternative names that I think (guessing) may be more rare:

Richard (Richie)
Rory
Christopher (Kit) love Kit...
David
Martin
Mark
Claude
Guy
Phillip
Alexander
Euan
Ryan

If you want to be a bit more out there but still a known name:
Cosmo
Inigo
Abraham
Silas
Abel

Some terrible names suggested on this thread. Such as Colin! Who the fuck in their right mind would call a baby Colin?

Billy - fine
Louis - very popular
Jacob - nice
Joshua - ok
Lucas - ok. Luke is less popular round here
Seth - really dislike. I don't like 'th' at the end i.e. in Meredith, Lilith, Edith, Beth, Ruth, Judith.
Jude - not a fan
George - ok
Reuben - very popular
Jonah - fine
Rory - nice
Leo - great
Toby - fine

Agree with PPs the list is mostly very popular choices.
Less popular -
Robin
Benedict
Matthew
Eric
Anthony
Vincent
Tristan
Nico
Philip (Pip)
Otto
Owen
Evan
Caspar

Very true - once so popular for years. There are 2 in my office, several more in the building and I’m married to one 🤣

I love Bryn and Brodie

Not Billy. I don’t like diminutives as given names.

Edmund?

Euan
Ewan
Joab
Kie
Klay
Clay
Peety
Guy
Jonas

Seth is really cute

Least favourite Jonah

They're all nice names tbh

Jacob and Leo are my faves from the lis. But also don’t “love” them.
suggestions:
Elijah
Aldous
Edgar
Ira
Ivor
Ivan
Raphael
Emmanuel (Mani)
Julian
Saul
Eduardo
Nico

I like Lucas from your list.

Not keen on Reuben, Seth or Billy.

Yes?
