We are struggling to find a boys name that we both love, help!

It needs to be unusual (our daughter has an unusual name and we're keen to ensure her brother does too, so, no classic or popular names please :)

Thank you

Lots of options on behindthename.com.

Do you have an idea of type? French, mediaeval, modern? Etc.

These might be too 'classic' for you:
Cassian
Quentin
Magnus
Amos
Tristan

Perhaps these are more 'unusual'
Orlando
Oakley
Romeo
Tiger

What is your daughter's name - that might help us find a suitable boys' name.
