I'm having a boy! I have a boy Zeke and a girl Kaia already. Looking for a boys name ideally 4 letters but doesn't have to be! Something unusual where he won't be one of five in his class. Tia. X

I might avoid this one, and Ivan, in the current political climate 🤑

Show quote history

About 5 years ago, my SIL considered naming her DS Elon.
None of us had ever heard the name before but she liked it.
Her DH wasn't keen however, so they named baby Elias.
I imagine today she's very happy that her DH vetoed the name.
It's a nice sounding name, it's really too bad the name is ruined now!🤥

I met a guy once called Rome, he was so cool and I’ve liked it ever since

Not four letters but might be your taste:

Silas
Elias
Eli
Josiah

I know it’s 5 letters but I love Titus but DH vetoed it.

4 letters, not that popular, I wouldn't think anyway:
Elon
Hebrew name meaning 'Oak tree's, first name or Jewish surname.
