Boys names -- weird or... ?

[Nataleejah]

Hett
Heath
Hamzah
Hadrian (or Adrian)
Hades
Kyle
Arn (or Arnes)
Dustin

How about The Hulk? Also a strong name.

Call him Hadrian.

Then you can call him Hades as a nickname.

Azriel - the angel of death. Good choice.

I have a name crush on Heath!! I also really like Hadrian.

The others I rate between dislike and astonishing terrible...Hamzah?!

The last think he wants is Daily Mail readers joking about all the tax money he's cost!

Lucifer?

I never thought I'd see the day I'd choose Kyle on a baby names list...

You are, I assume, joking?

This is what the names conjure up to me

Hett - Hetty hoover
Heath - Cliff it's me a kathyyyy a come home or Ted.
Hamzah - one armed preacher
Hadrian (or Adrian) - a wall or a mole
Hades - great name if he is a black Labrador
Kyle - Jeremy
Arn (or Arnes) - ica
Dustin - Gee, Hoffmann, Diamond

In all honesty they are a bit piss poor names.

How about Satan? That's a nice name. Or Damnation?

For goodness sake OP, you surely can't be serious about any of those names, other than Adrian???

I honestly love Ryan Singh. Super pretty combo and a great name that will age well. We get really positive responses about the name and his siblings agree it is the best name ever.

Azriel is the angel of death

Reitman is a surname

Too bizarre for me I'm afraid. Heath is the best of a pretty bad bunch. No offence intended.

Please don't name a baby anything to do with hell or death though. Not Hades, Azriel, Lucifer, Beelzebub or Styx.

It's a pity though, Lucifer and Azriel would be pretty good names without those connotations!

Beezelbub

Dante

Voldemort

Loki

The only one I vaguley like is Heath.
Kyle would be ok at a push.
Don't like Dustin but do like Justin!
Really dislike the others.

Hades?!

Hamzah?!

Please, choose Hadrian if you want to be a bit weird/ different.

Here's my first word association with them:

Hett - het up,annoyed, irritated
Heath - a landscape (like Egdon Heath in Thomas Hardy)
Hamzah - militant cleric, a name from a non British heritage, lifetime of having to repeat his name if child is white British, nickname of Ham
Hadrian/Adrian - a wall, Adrian Mole, old fashioned, skin mole, the chant moley moley moley from á film (can't remember which one)
Hades - king of the underworld, kidnapped Persephone, not a nice bloke
Kyle - there are 3 Kyle's in DS2's reception class, he will always be Kyle B or Kyle H etc
Arn/Arnes - sounds French, a lifetime of having to repeat his name
Dustin - the Rainman film, a dustbin

Sorry forgot:

Azriel - some kind of angel, a Biblical name
Reitman - an American hedge fund or financial company

In answer to your question, yes, weird! I'm all for out of the ordinary names but there's a fine line between unusual and stupid!

There is a very, very good reason why all those names will never feature in the top 100.

Heath is very nice, I like it.

Dustin is not terrible at all.

Kyle is at least a name. Not my style, but fine.

H(A)drian - not utterly dreadful. I can imagine someone having that name.

Hett, Hades Hamzah Arn - really, really awful. Just... Awful. Hades? Really?

Azriel and Reitman equally ridiculous. WHY?????

LOVE Dustin. Love it.

Azriel and Reitman -- some very nice people we know and admire, and they like their names.

(For some background info, i'm not english, and my DH grew up in USA -- so we're into something international)

Heath is the most usable.

I would avoid anything linked with death so Hades and Azriel are a no.

Hamzah is a horrible name. It's not just that you don't have an Asian connection it's also just not that nice.

Hett is ridiculous.
