Unusual boys names

[Primaryteach87]

Hi,
Trying to think of boys name for our little one. After a scare today, I feel like we need to make some progress fast! Please help.
Looking for an unusual yet timeless name. Don't mind a bit off-beat. Could be biblical, literary or Victorian-y. Any suggestions?

Leolan, Leander or Rumgy

That's a huge range.

Jago
Horatio
Jem
Saul
Silas

Inigo
Seth
Silas
Reuben
Elias

I love name threads

Judah
Gideon
Rory
Jonah
Josiah

(Told you)

Yes, massive range (hence needing help!! Thank you!)

Love Reuban and Elias. Was really keen on Horatio but then my sister pointed out they'd be the 'little hora' if they were naughty.

Rufus
Isaac
Ellis
Gabriel
Asa
Lysander

Isaac seems to be really really popular where we are (as is Noah). So would rule out for that reason.

Lysander has a nice sound. What does it mean/where is it from?

I like Rufus, I know my mum would seriously dislike it though (she had a dog called Rufus and can't see past it).

Lysander - not sure of its origins - it's literary though - Jilly Cooper

Err... lysander is from Shakespeare

He was a Spartan admiral. There were probably others!

There you are, Shakespeare and Jilly Cooper.

Haha! Can't be beaten. I like the meaning "liberator"

I'm in the same predicament! My DH and I are really struggling to settle on boys' names but here are some we're considered at various points:

Milo
Percy
Caspar
Timothy
Sebastian (I think this has become more common the last year or so)
Dexter
Leandros / Leonidas
Coridan / Corydon (nn Cory)

Good luck!

H about 'out there' names like...

Dresden
Newton
Korak
bartimaeus
Bertram
Abbott

Lazlo
Ezekiel
Ephraim

Thanks SK28, we know we're having a boy (typical as we had a girl's name sorted!)

Ephraim and Bertram are both tempting.

Ambrose

• my absolute favourite boys name!

My back up boys name, Augustine, nn Gus.

Auberon
Algernon
Julius
Augustus
Edmund
Edgar
Ptolemy

Oooh Azariah is nice.
I'm so worried I'm going to make the wrong decision! Unusually, I love my name and have this big fear of getting my first major decision for baby wrong. I think that's why I can't decide, let alone agree with DH.

I'm glad someone gave me another source for Lysander, I thought it was a second world war fighter plane! I do like the way the word sounds though!

Love Edmund.

Earnest
Frederick

Conrad
Wreford

Amos
Ambrose
Eliezer
Eben
Corin
Rex
I also love Peter, Patrick and Dominic - not unusual as such, but rarely used these days.

Ezra ? I think it's fab
