Struggling with unusual boys names

65 replies

Welly558 · 19/02/2013 23:10

Hello,
So, if we have a girl we like Luna Violet.
We have a few boys names but non that I hugely love.
So far we have
Dexter
Ezra
Jude
Samson
Jonah

Anyone have any ideas for nice boys names? To go with a two syllable surname ending in Ee sound.

A 'jonah' is someone who brings a ship bad luck. Very archaic usage.

Eli and Dashiell and Nate are great.

If you go with Dexter be prepared to be greeted by several Labradors when you call him in the park! I've met several dogs called Dexter.

I rather like Zephyr. I thought it meant gentle breeze.

Soren is the name of a rock stars son for me. He has Danish roots.

Soren must be from Soren Lorenson in the Charlie and Lola books! He is Lola's invisible friend. (I mean I know the name had much more provenance but that's the pop-culture reference that jumps out at me)

What about Jonas (like Jonah but not with the bad luck) See the actor Jonas Armstrong (was Robin Hood in the recent BBC version)
