Unusual, creative boys names

Struggling for inspiration. I quite like artsy / naturey / literary names. Except Atticus. Really not a fan.

Anything unusual, creative, outside the Top 500-ish?

Anyone? Smile

Torin or Tiernan?

Sorry, I can't really think of any more - most of my favourite names are not outside of the top 20, let alone top 500 Grin.

Amos
Cornelius
Moby

Have a look at last years' ONS list of ALL boys names used - lots of inspiration outside the top 500 there.

Rafferty. I am currently in love with that name.
Samson.
Theodore.
Logan.

Fishpond · 14/11/2011 15:16

Rafferty's is a popular restaurant in my town, wouldn't be able to use that in good conscience! Grin I do like Samson / Sam but too popular for my tastes.

My boys are Darwin, Heath, Shay, Gabriel and Hendrix and together they have the middle names Wolf, Cassian, Silas, Orlando and Jeremiah. I like to think they are unusual and creative and we are yet to come across someone with the same name :o

Muddling - your names are certainly creative. Apart from Gabriel, I've never met anyone with any of those names.
