HELP! Unique boys names!

[Claudius123]

I absolutely love the name Reuben but my friends little boy has this name :( Is there anything similar anyone can think of? I quite like Arlo but i'm hearing it a lot now too. I find out what I'm having in a few weeks and if its a boy i'm totally stumped! I already have a little girl, i have so many girls names to use but not one for a boy!

I really love Mark

FFFFS why the fuck is it so vital to be "unique"

Pathetic.

Rhodri

As soon as I saw the title I was going to suggest Balonz but I see 70switch beat me to it!

I wanted Oscar if I have a boy but found out my sister in law which is not overly keen on is calling her son it, you can't go with someone else's friends name it's just not the done thing well I wouldn't! I like unique names

Biffer.
Basher.
Bruiser.
Bod.
Gnasher.
Gordon.
Bennet.
Zipper.
Zebedee.
Tinkywinky.
Po.

I was going to suggest Ptolemy but got beaten to it. If you want unique then something classical is always a good bet - perhaps
Xenophon,
Appuleius
Thucydides
Elagabalus
Flaccus

@Aprillygirl what's wrong with Dipsy or LaLa?

Wow this is my first time posting and i have to say being called pathetic because I'm asking for similar names to Reuben is absolutely bizarre. By unique i just meant not over used, or any names people liked but didn't use. I've always found this site so helpful when i had a question to see that other mothers had the same question. Its sad this is the way other women/people would talk to a pregnant woman. Give yourselves a nice pat on the back you horrible few.

You'd be better off on the baby name board OP.
Rufus is the only thing I can come up with. Good luck.

I like Rufus as well :) or Rory. Micah someone suggested earlier is also a lovely name!

Don't be silly, they're girls names!

By unique i just meant not over used

So what you actually meant was "unusual"?
