I'm in a bit of a pickle, I'm after inspiration for an unusual boys name, nothing ott like a celebrity would choose, but nothing boring or ordinary, any ideas? Please

I met a Baron recently. He hates his name but I thought it was cool.

Here are some that I liked when I was trying to decide on a name for DS (all veto'd by his dad):

Angus
Barnaby
Fintan
Corvid (okay, so not technically a name, it's the word for the crow family of birds, but I really liked it and I would have used Corky for short!)

Muskey · 31/10/2014 14:48

I like corvid.

Like jet but already have that initial, trying to have different initials, so nothing with j, t, w or k.

Ok so maybe thinking not an unusual name, just not one that is popular, ahhhh I'm so fussy :/

Rex has already been used by a celeb though- it's Fearne Cotton's son.

Lyle?
