Unusual boys names....

I've got loads of boys names, they need to sound like Logan, Ayden, and Korben. Here's my list:
Arran
Kegan (too similar to Logan?)
Kellan
Kevan (too like Kevin, which I don't like??)
Rowan
Rylan
Torben
So which, if any, sound good for a boy? DP has kind of given up, saying he can't think of which ones he likes, and I should choose! . His only suggestions were Clifton (I don't think!) or Brendan (one of my exe's was called this, so a big no-no!). Has anyone else got any other an/on/in/en/yn suggestions too?

I'm not keen on any but Torben is probably the best imo. What about Quentin?

Tobin?

Rowan is lovely, I really dislike all the others, sorry.

funnysinthegarden · 11/07/2010 22:25

like Rowan, but last time I heard it was for a girl!

Does the name need to sound like the others? Provided they had a similar origin that should be OK? Where do your other children's names come from? Are they Irish/Scottish?

Rowan's a lovely name and it IS for boys - including one of ds's classmates.

How about Welsh boys' names? Evan, Dylan, Owen and so on?
