Coolest boys names you've heard but won't dare use yourself?

So I'm back again.. Going through all of the options to find the perfect baby boy name! I'm due in April and time has been flying by so far!
If it was left to me and me only, he would be called Freddie. But I can't seem to get my partner to agree!

So just going through another option of not-often-heard-of boys names?
The ones on that list that I can think of are

Kit
River
Harley
Jax

What are the "coolest" or different boys names you've heard but perhaps a bit too dating to use yourself?

Another couple...

Buzz
Rocky

A couple of people have suggested Nye, which I've always understood to be a nickname/shortening for Aneurin.

Rhubarbgarden · 03/02/2015 16:09

Darius. I think Darius is very cool. It sounds rather silly with our surname, sadly.

Ezra

Blake
Jasper
Bear
Fox
Mitch

My boys are called Ryan and Leon I know there not "cool" names but as my mother says they are both "strong" names Grin

What would you all suggest as a "cool" name to go with Freddie, if I was to choose that name?
As nice as it is on it's own I feel like it should roll on into a one-syllable name.. Like Freddie joe (but not joe as that's my brothers name!) but you get my drift.

Glad to see my son's name mentioned on here a few times! I didn't know it was seen as that bold.

I have a Freddie.

If I ever have another boy he'll be a Walt/Walter or Arnie.

If there was a parallel universe in which dh and I were very cool, possibly popstars, I would have a girl anda boy called whisper and shadow respectively...as it iswe are not remotely cool, so shadow is up for grabsGrin
