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?

Nelson
Wilson
Jackson

All surnames I know, but reasonable as first names up to a point?

Kellen is nice too, from your list.

mathanxiety I can't use Jackson...which actually was my 'reserve' boys name, but my cousin (that I was brought up with as a sister) has an 8mo baby called Jackson...which I suggested, as I didn't think I'd be having any more. .

I know far too many Ethans/Nathans/Kierons and Ja(y)dens to use any of those names.

I'm going to try and give DP this list later: Arran
Ashton
Edison (nn Eddy)
Kellan
Rowan.
To see what he thinks of the new additions to the list. Please keep the suggestions coming, we are at such a loss/impasse with boys names. Yet we have had a girls name since I was 6 weeks gone! Amethyst Susan (nn Ammy-Su). Why is it sooo much harder to name a boy? Is it just because I've already used my 4 best boys names??

FranSanDisco Don't get me started on Heston...DP is a massive Heston Blumenthal fan, there's no way I'm suggesting that, he'll never consider anything else! (And I like it, but don't 'love' it IYSWIM).

I think MIL may just have the answer....she suggested Reuben when she phoned a little while ago...it was DP's grandad's name apparently, and we both absolutely love it, with Roo for short.

Jevon
Oren

my sons Arian or you can spell it arion. greek name meaning musical, also welsh for money or silver. dh wanted him to be called lincoln/kingdom/gaylan so arian was good compromise

kelvin?

Deemented · 17/07/2010 11:51

Brennan?

Tate?

CardyMow · 18/07/2010 11:11

One of my mates DP's is called Kelvin, and one of my other friends DS is called Brennan. Trying to find a name that I don't know of any others with the same name! Reuben is what we are sticking with I think, with Rowan and Edison as back-ups.

I thought Brennan was a girls name? Nice though. SIL has a son - Ronin.
