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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I don’t get the initial snarky responses either - Zeke and Kaia are perfectly “normal” sounding names, just ones that are not especially traditional and more popular in the US than UK. So maybe:

Orin (much more popular in the US too)
Leal (old English word for Loyal)
Liev (too Russian? but great meaning)
Bram (nn for Abraham so works brilliantly with Zeke for Ezekiel imo)
Nico or Cole (as above, they work well with Zeke as they are nn’s for Biblical Nicholas)
Fenn (nature name)

Zeke - third letter is K. Vowels both E.
Kaia - first letter K. Vowels both A.

Rook - last letter K. Vowels both O.

Some of these suggestions are top 50 - some top 20!

Are your other two short for anything OP?

Some unusual ones for you - especially as a given name rather than as a shortened.

I also like Simeon, Malachai, Elijah and Titus. As you can tell I'm a big fan of bible names 🙂
