Help boys names, unusual but not made up!

66 replies

RetroMum1 · 26/06/2009 19:18

We are trying to come up with a boys name. It is impossible, I have enough girls names for 8 children but none that I love for a boy.

If DD had been a boy she'd have been a Noah Finlay. It is now to common for us.

DH likes Nelson and Jasper and I do but I don't love them like I did my daughters name or any of my chosen girls names!.

We are looking for something that is unusual, cool and cute but not made up like Storm.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

LOVE this thread!

but sorry, Malachy will always remind me of Children of the Corn. Otherwise it would have been DS/s name

Arlo
Malachi
Tobias
Quentin

I want a Magnus, but am yet to convince DP (or even pregnant).

What about welsh names? We have a Rhidian and haven't yet come across another one of either spelling (Rhidian/Rhydian) despite living in Wales. My friend's son is called Caelan, which I think is gorgeous and would probably have used myself if she'd not got in first!

Roman?
Milo?

I like Otto too and if I have another son, I think I might name him after my grandfather:Otto Gustav Maxmillian. Now that's a name!

Gosh awful typos sorry!. Pavel and Tariq seem a little comical to me I'm afraid.

see malachy always reminds me of malady...i.e. desease...

how about Mirko, Soren, Luther, Ricardo, Tariq, Pavel

Digby (I Heart this so much but have been banned three times now) or Monty or Sebastian?

I do like Jasper it was top of the list but I just don't seem to be able to fall in love with any boys names.

I think it's because secretly I would like another DD!.

I can't beleive you brought up Malachy, it's my favourtie name in the world and the noly one I truely love but DH really dislikes it and I don't seem to be able to twist his arm at all and beleive me I've tried I've sent him messages with it in, made it his screen saver and played the horrific delivry card to no avail!

I love Angus and Stanley but we know a Stanley already, Anugs is so adorable but DH has just vetoed as we have said no Scottish names as I wouldn't have Hamish!

FairLadyRantALot · 26/06/2009 19:52

my sons are called Sven, Yannic and Flynn, all unusual but not made up...

saying that I regrett spelling Yannic without a k at the end....i.e. Yannick...would have been better...hindsight and all that..
