Strange boys name

Please help, me and my husband cannot agree on a boys name I've only got 6weeks left and starting to get bit worried. We want something really unusual and different!
Our other son is called Kingsley.
We've sorta made one up last night 'Keo' but any other suggestions would be great :) x

Keo is both a Cambodian name and a Hawaiian name. I don't think it sounds very good with Kingsley though, they sound clumsy and uninspired together.

Kobi-Jay is pretty out there.

C4ALR · 31/10/2013 21:53

We've got a girl in the middle grace, so it would sound like kingsley, grace and Keo x

Did you not...

Lobi-Jay sounds like a Jedi name!

Kingsley is a fairly old fashioned type name I think. You need something like Peregrine, Gulliver, or Marlon with it.

bsc · 31/10/2013 22:22

Kobi Jay

C4ALR · 31/10/2013 22:23

Loadsa people keep saying gulliver but I don't think I can even pronounce it right haha

Oh please I beg you not kobi-jay! Why this obsession with sticking an 'ay' sound on the end of names? It sounds and looks awful. Also please stick with Coby, there is really no need to make it yoonique by spelling it kobi.

EirikurNoromaour · 01/11/2013 07:05

Kingsley and Harrison
Kingsley and Arthur
Kingsley and Jackson
Kingsley and archer
Kingsley and Thomas
