So depressed by the lack of interesting boys names!

[Nessalina]

Due in 9 weeks, and every boys name I hear bores me to tears!

Not interested in cutesy little boy names (Alfie/Archie/Charlie) and absolutely no 'Thomas the Tank Engine' names (Edward, Henry, James, etc).

Impress me with something a wee bit different!

I had this problem. Always wanted to have two girls Violet and Lilac, but ended up with two boys.

We really struggled but ended up with Lawson and Toby, which I love.

EDD 4th Nov!
I was thinking about Theodore again last night, and I really think I need to try & persuade DH... It's a great name! Great nicknames, good for a baby or an adult, not too run of the mill... And good to know the chipmunk associations aren't an issue
And Theodore James is fab

I'll keep you posted...

I agree with theordore- amazing name!

Also love Keir, and I had never thought of that before!!

Sebastian
Rafe
Rory
Wolfe

Drawing a blank here...x

Guillam
Gulliver
Lucien
Fabian

What about Ezekiel? Zeke for short

Wow love this thread and loving the names a who ever said fletcher that has gone flying to the top of my list!

Others I have are
Brooks
Aaron
Griffin
Ace
Wilbur
Huxley
Felix (I love dh hates but fletcher is close I think)
Sydney
Austin
If any of these help!!

Ezra James
Idris James
Keir James

Austin & Ezekiel are both very cool!

Some great names on this thread!

Love Austin, Quentin, Arthur and Magnus. Or how about Fabian?

My son is Holden Cooper. We struggled to find an unusual boys name too, think a girl would have been easier!

I'm currently pregnant with baby 2 and don't yet know what it is!

Lincoln
Magnus
Flynn
Rafferty
Jett
Jago
Leon

Just some I've heard recently - Lincoln is my DS's name :).

I love Holden and Austin too.

Just adding

Jupiter (sounds a bit like Juniper?)
Cosmo
Obadiah (Obi - so cute)
Lorcan
Amos

as I don't think they've been mentioned yet.

Could also have Jed for Josiah like President Bartlet :)

Atticus
Ephra
Miles
Giles
Etienne

Wystan

Chester

Douglas

Buster

Patrick

Yes OP I read a book years ago where one male character was called Juniper and it stuck with me for years as lovely unusual etc.

Elias
Jesse
Isiah
Ishmael
Lawrence

Some brilliant suggestions!! Am 38 so many of these already have associations both adults and children.....It's sooo hard!!!

Is Duncan cool these days? What about Sandy (short for Alexander)?

We'll probably end up naming him something really simple, after all this wonderful effort!!!

Oban

That East London list reminded me why I do t live there anymore!

Keir Hardy was the first Labour M.P. - I think you would have to be a bit of a leftie to get away with it.

My rules were no names that were primarily a)surnames or b) dogs. So no Buster, Mungo, Fletcher or Cooper.

I know a lovely Beau and an Otto

Some which I'm not sure have been mentioned yet:

Francis
Hugo
Ivo
Leonard
Marcus/Magnus
Barnaby
Quentin
Alban
Gregory
Horatio
Xavier
Zebediah
Maurice
Vaughan
Vincent
Corin

Ooh and...

Inigo
Amos
Saul
Aubrey

Maurice could be due a come back

Cary?
