I am currently 24 weeks with my 2nd baby. My daughter Amia was sadly stillborn in 2010. I love that her name is not very common (I've never heard of another Amia!) and I'd love for her little brother's name to be unusual too, but without being too 'out there'.

I love names like Finlay, Dillon, Alfie, Theo, etc but they are, for me, too popular. OH likes Aaron and Foster. I like Joel and Arlo but we've not agreed on a name.

His middle name is Richard as it's a family name on my side (brother, uncle, grandad, great grandad and great great grandad) Surname is Geaney. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Love Joel and Asher. It might be nice for your children to share an initial.

So sorry about your baby girl.

After our stillborn daughter we decided on Rex.

If you wanted a similar name to your daughter's, there's Amyas or Amadeus.

Arlo is great & I think it goes well will Richard tbh.

Lief, has the meaning 'beloved' same as your daughter which might be nice. It's unusual but not out there.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. Although it's a lovely thought, I'm not really looking for a name similar to my daughter's. We have only been able to agree on 3 names so far.. Joel, Aston and Vinnie. I still love Arlo and think it sounds good with the middle name and surname, but OH hates the name.. Never mind eh!
I'm especially liking the suggestion of Devin as a name, as we could have Vinnie as a nickname! Grin
StupidFlanders I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter Thanks

Joel is really lovely.

Arnia is a beautiful name.

How about Oberon, Everard, Fabian, Gilbert, Joshua (although I think this is getting very popular), Ruan, Stuart?
