Boys names that aren't biblical and don't end with an S!

[BananaHammocks]

I seem to really like biblical names (I'm a staunch atheist) or names that end in S (my surname starts with an S) for boys, please take a look at the list below and see if you can suggest anything I might like that doesn't fall im to these two categories! Would also rather it wasn't in the top 150 or unisex! I'm too fussy aren't I?

Amos, Solomon, Abraham, Seth, Rufus, Curtis, Travis, Miles, Angus, Otis, Jasper, Sebastian, Rowan.

If it helps my fave girls names are Claudia, Saffron, Henrietta and Clementine.

Don't think the biblical thing should put you off even as an athiest so pin to chuck in Jonah, Malachi and Peter for good measure :)

Love your names particularly Angus and Miles (I also love Fergus?)

Non biblical and not ending in S:
Milo, Arlo, Laurence (nn Laurie), Kit, Arthur, Jude (can't remember think this may be biblical!), Finn, Rory

Here another vote for Fergus, Carlos and also Arthur, Levi (or Lev), Soren, Senan, Ronan, Laurence (Laurie), Ruben, Severin, Ines, Marcel, Matthias, Oscar, Oran, Remy, Emile, and my favourite: Benedict.

(Sorry, bit of an Irish/French leaning here)

My thought's on the suggestions so far:

Jonah - Bit to feminine sounding for me
Milo - Not keen on most names ending in y, ie or o, don't think they sound very grown-up
Arlo - See above
Laurence - doesn't end with an S but does end with the S sound
Ruben - prefer the spelling Reuben but in in top 100
Kit - Too nicknamey
Arthur - Top 100
Jude - Top 100 and a bit too feminine again
Finn - Waaaaaaaay to popular in all it's various forms!
Rory - Ends in Y, too cutesy
Fergus - Ends in S
Carlos -ends in S
Levi - ends in i, to nicknamey though I realise it's not a nickname!
Soren and Senan - Eh? Bit too unusual and kinda feminine sounding
Ronan - Would sound like I was a massive Boyzone fan!
Severin - Sever sounds a bit violent!
Ines - Is that not a girls name?
Marcel - I find it a bit poncey, probably just me though!
Matthias - he'd just end up Matt, yawn.
Oscar - really like Oscar but it's really, really popular!
Oran - Eh? Where's that from? Bit too unusual.
Remy - Girl
Emile - Girly
Benedict - would just be Ben. Yawn.

Yep I am too fussy!

Gregor
Austin
Keir
Fraser
Struan
David - I know it's biblical but it's not your first thought when you here it.

Lorne
Craig
Alistair
Guy
Brodie

here it!!! hear it

Banana no suggestions I love your logic & filtering system! We have similar challenge for DC2, I don't want anything ending in a -y, -a or -o sounds and whilst I'm not put off by biblical completely, don't feel we could carry off an Elijah, Noah or Rueben without being hypocritical.

Dizzy Exactly I won't rule out all biblical names but I like the unusual ones which make it sound like we are religious!

Gregor - Gregory is top 100 so no
Austin - Borderline top 100 and makes me think Powers!
Keir - Makes me think of the alcohol
Fraser - I do quite like Fraser but it doesn't excite me enough
Struan - bit too Scottish? It is Scottish isn't it?
David - Top 100

Lorne - Too feminine
Craig - yawn, was popular for people my age so find it too familiar
Alistair - yawn and top 100
Guy - bit like calling him Man or Bloke!
Brodie - ends with ie, also don't like Brady, Bodhi

Otto

Joel

Fabian

Max

Alexander

Xavier

I know a boy called Bodie, who is lovely, he has a brother called Donnie.

sorry didn't see about the o ending - what about Orion?

do like Otto though.

list of top 1000 baby names here

Hugo
Hugh
Lysander
Hector
Gilbert
Walter
Marvin

It's quite hard to get a boys name that's not in the top 100 and not too unusual!

Eric (have a young one in my family)
Theodor
Tristan

I gave 2dds, one of which us a Claudia, so applaud your good taste

If we had had a bot we liked Alexander, or Alasdair. Also liked Finn but if didn't go with our surname, and Fergus, but the cat was named that many years previously. (But that ends in 's' so not in your criteria)

What about Edward?

Otto - Sounds too much like Otter! Although Ottoline is quite cool for a girl!
Joel - Top 100
Fabian - Not sure I like the shortening of Fab! Is it Fab-ian or Fay-bian?
Max - Top 100
Alexander - Top 100
Xavier - Just don't like it, not sure I've got a reason for this one!

Bodie - Ends in ie
Donnie - ie and nickname

Hugo - ends in o
Hugh - too poncey for me, makes me think of Hugh Grant
Lysander - Poncey
Hector - Hec sounds a bit harsh
Gilbert - Don't like short forms, Gil to girly, Bert a bit comedic!
Walter - LOVE Walter but would be worried people would shorten it to Wally even if I insisted it was Walt!
Marvin - Oh I like this! Is Marvin Usable?? Has the one from JLS made it acceptable??

Eric - Have one in the family
Theodore - too popular when combined with all the Theo's
Tristan - Don't like it, can't put my finger on why
Edward - waaaaaay to popular

I'm annoying myself now.

Robin?

Edgar
Owen
Axel
Anton
Lyall
Martin
Matteus
Osbert

banana come on

let's try again

Quinn

Raul

Rex

Tate

Micah

Banana you're making me laugh :) I was a bit like this but with different rules!

Can understand the no S and even top 100 rules. You might have to have something pretty unusual though, or biblical.

Couple more: (haven't checked top 100 in England and apologies for repeats)
Asher
Jonathan
Angelo
Stefan
Patrick

Banana no suggestions but am watching with interest - dont like any boys names enough - for many of the reasons you are giving!
12 weeks to go here - so inspiration would be good.
Keep em coming!

Boys names just don't seem to grab me! Apart from Amos, I love that it's very rarely used but short and simple, unfortunately it is both biblical and ends with S! I like it enough to overlook the biblical thing but try saying it with a surname that ends with S, does it sound too bad to use??

I do quite like Marvin though, is it too geektastic? It sounds like the sort of thing Billie Piper would chooose!

I am biased but how about Wilf(red)??
