Different but not silly names

HELP!
I need suggestions on unusual names, but I don't want anything that sounds silly. I did like the name Trey, but as I have found (after asking opinions in a previous post) it isn't really the best name for a white, middle class English boy...

My husband likes Rhys and Ty. I love Asher, but my husband hates it. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ty makes me think of the soft toy brand.

How about Roman or Saxon?

Or Bruno or Bruce

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 12/04/2013 11:55

Oh I just thought of Roman but two posters already beat me to it.

Is Orlando too out there?

Close friends and family already beat me to zane, roman and Jude!

I like Saxon, keir and milo, but milo is a popular drink in Australia, my last name starts with s and my husband hates keir. Argh!

Please keep them coming!

If you like Trey, what about something like Grayson, nickname Gray. I heard this the other day and although it's not my taste, thought it was quite a cool option.

Oooooo i love some of the suggestions. Tate and Lyle haha. I do like Tate though :)

My husband loves the name Tye. What do you guys think?

I can't have anything that ends with n so Grayson won't work.... It's cool though.

Love arlo, but it's quite common in Australia believe it or not.
