Quirky boys names

44 replies

I really like slightly unusual boys names. Mainly because I'm a teacher and I've been put off a lot of boys names over the years!
Any inspiration for me? Xx

And Tristan. A lovely classic, quirky, underused name. I only know one Tris.

They're great ideas. I've added loads to my list :)
Any more?
I liked beau but have been put off by people's reactions to it. I also like Arlo and Seve (dh not keen. It's a footballer apparently!)

Is Gleb quirky enough?

cheekstime · 19/02/2016 10:39

I liked Beau when first heard but peoples reaction were strong enough to put me off.
