Rare but not too bonkers boys names?

Any good suggestions from outside the top 100?

Other names that I like but can't use are:
Felix
Inigo
Tate
Milo
Atticus
Griffin

Huxley was on our short list too but it had a rubbish reception from friends I tried it out on - mainly because of the pug thing. Someone helpfully suggested that he would get nicknamed Fuxley or Fux which is all I can hear now.

I LOVE Fox but that might be a bit too out there even for me.

Magnus is great too but we don't have any Scandinavian connection and DS is already going to be mixed ethnicity so adding another whole culture into the mix feels weird. Same goes for all the gorgeous Scottish names.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it just but what about Elijah (Eli)?

Jagger

Eli is lovely but also on our can't use list.

Dang it I wish my friends and family had all called their kids George and Henry

My favourite boy's name is Leo but I know it's not particularly rare. It might be among your friends, though, given the names they've chosen!

My current favourite is Jaco, said in the South African way

BettyBi0 · 14/04/2016 12:35

What is the South African way? Is it like Jay-Co? Or Yack- o?

Close, like Yack-u.

Too bonkers?

polkadotdelight · 14/04/2016 21:16

Wooooooop, my DSs name has made the list (not risking outing myself though!).

AKissACuddleAndACheekyFinger · 14/04/2016 22:15

Asher, lovely name and I would have used it for every one of our sons if our surname didn't also end in -er!

AKissACuddleAndACheekyFinger · 14/04/2016 22:16

Also Kimber. I love that name but again not with our surname.

IHeartKingThistle · 14/04/2016 22:26

I love Oren.
