Quirky but not too quirky boys names

[Lionsntigersnbears]

Hi All,

need your help again! We're having a DS in June and looking for a name. I had another thread a bit ago about DHs choice which was James which I don't like for a variety of reasons. I do like names like Noah, Toby, Sam, Arthur, and Fred but none of them feels exactly right. Can anyone inspire me with a short, quirky-ish name?

A little boy at a baby group I went to was called Hendrix. I Blinkin love that name!!!!

Cliff
Rhett
Guy
Clive
Ralph
Ted (Edward)
Simeon
Blake
Brett
Blair
Crispin
Mick

Nicholas
Xavier
Mylo

Albert

Lions hope you don't mind me keeping an eye on this thread. Lots of names on your list and other posts that are our taste and we need to narrow our list down.
I've only come across one Toby in three years so not popular near us in Yorkshire.
I love some of the suggestions here but Rowan and Toby are still top of our list
Love Jude still but too close to ds1
Loving Mack and Tate too

I love Gage. Probably too quirky but I think it's lovely and rolls off the tongue easily. Zander or Xander is nice too.

I agree with Jude too...my DS, 10 weeks, is Jude Robert

I have always loved the name Ace.
Another good slightly quirky one is Otto.

Love loads of these.....

in my fictional list would have

Otto, Theo, Quinn, Noah, Ted, Reuben, Jacob, Kit, Chester, Monty,

One of the guys I work is called Ned & he is in his 30's & quite cool!

Jonas

Wow my list is now huge! I love love love lots of these names. Beanstalk you're welcome! I'm also in Yorkshire. A lot of names that are really popular in the south take a while to take on here, I guess. I love Rowan too, but makes me think of the archbishop of C. Hmmm can I get past this? . I don't any Tobys but I've loved the name since watching Labyrinth as a kid (muppets AND Bowie, what's not to love?). Thanks everybody, I'll get pruning that list

lions he's not the Archbishop anymore! so we're safe. There is still Rowan Atkinson though....... Every name has some association with someone else though. We're drawing up a longer list this afternoon over a late V's day lunch so romantic ha!

Oooh, a few names I like from my social circle include:

Frazer
Ezra
Albert
Maximilian
Maurice
Marcus
Edward
Edmund
Tiago (my goddaughter just name her baby this and he is adorable)
Alexis

Victor

Conrad

Cosmo
Hunter
Rufus
Wolf
Nico
Dougal
Rex
Jackson
Miles
Otis
Asa
Ossian
Leopold
Boris
Gus
Humphrey
Dexter
Dashiell
Elliott

A real mixed bag there....
