The most unusual boys name I can think of is Felicity

Sorry. I've had wine.

stbxh wanted DS1 to be Fenris or Athelstan.

One of my DT's is Anatoly (Tolly for short).

Oh and I forgot about Thaddeus....

My husband still maintains that Seve is the coolest boy's name ever. I vetoed it immediately, but it's certainly unusual!

Galen

Seeing as we are in the era of anything goes, I would say a name like Nigel, Roger, Gaylord, Derek or Herman would be unusual.

Might not be what you are looking for, mind.

Zanzibar? I think it'd be a great name for a future explorer.
Jupiter - God of thunder and lightening.
Nebuchadnezzar.
Horace.
I met a toddler called Alan the other day. You don't see many Alans these days.

My 2yo likes the name Jumpy if we have a boy.

Most unusual boys names I know of are Braxton, Journey, Enamol, and drum roll please ....... L-a (pronounced ludasha, I shit you not!) Hmm

Prendergast.

OTheHugeManatee · 17/02/2016 21:42

Gary is pretty rare these days too. Gary Prendergast Smith has a nice ring to it.

Grin. We are expecting triplets at the moment. Don't know what we're having at the moment, but DS (aged 8) has named them Burt, Derek and Mildred.

I was at school with an Athelstan. Stan for short. I thought it was weird at the time, but I like it now.
