Help! Unusual but not crazy boys name needed...

[KateBeckett]

Dp and I are expecting our first baby in July, and at this rate he's going to be nameless!!

Dp has very er... Adventurous tastes. I am not opposed to something unusual, but not dp's level of crazy!

Examples of names I like-
Isaac
Cameron
Kieran
Seth
Sebastian
Finn

Examples of names dp likes-
Hudson
Malachi
Ranulph
Valentine
Efren

Can anyone help us find a middle ground before my head explodes?!

Absolutely love Malachi!!

Jonas
Asher
Asa
Reuben
Elijah
Eli

I love Cameron.

Rupert
Edwin
Griffin

Huxley
Cole

Much prefer your choices tbh.

Felix
Barney
Cooper

word it's just too out there for me!!

I'm getting vaguely positive noises about Asa, and an 'I quite like that!' For Eli vixx !

pinky I love Edwin!! Dp does not

Xp so do I age !

I liked Fergus when I was last preggers but it was a girl!
There are two local boys I know called Cooper and Mason and I always think they're cute names. I quite like the American way of using surnames as first names.

Malachi' s Irish meaning my messenger/my angel . another Irish one is Oisin (pronounced oysheen) it means 'little deer', I knew a little boy with that name and liked it.

I have an eli who in thought about calling Malachi. Some names I like are

Travis
Stacey
Leighton
Ellis
Kier
Jody
Preston
Haze
Zachary

We've got an Alasdair. A lot of the names on your OH list would appeal to my DH!

Fraser.

How about
Dominic
Reuben
Quentin
Angus

Riven
Axel
Henley
Jonah

I love Riven but it rhymes with my surname so couldn't use it.

Gabriel
Felix
Rafe
Holden
Reuben
Amos
Barnaby
Corin
Alaric
Bram
Keir
Asher
Dominic
Emlyn
Fabian
Rory
Hector
Jago
Lincoln
Jesse
Malachy
Nathaniel
Magnus
Pascal
Roman
Silas
Thaddeus
Vincent
Zacharias
Alexis
Torin
Raphael
Lucas
Rafferty
Xavier

My DH is Erlend and loves his name. Although he does get letters to Ms and has been referred to as Earland, Ireland and Erin among others.

Malachi is Hebrew, actually, not Irish. But it's true that it means my angel or my messenger (such things being one and the same in the Bible...)
I love it.

How about Gregory? Ezra is becoming more popular too... Jonah? Elliot?

Mason is quite chavvy round my way tbh . Hudson is cute though ...

Orin, loved that name but dh wasn't keen...
Cillian,
Finton

Cullin
Otto
Irvin
Edwin
Amos
Ambrose
Idris
Evan
Eben
Silas
Saul
Zebulon

We had a similar split in name tastes - I loved Cameron and Angus and DH loved 'cooler' names like Otis and Jackson. We compromised with the name Archer, as it was a family name (nn Archie) if that helps. Of your two lists I really like Hudson and Cameron. Other names that might be a good compromise would be Otto, Rafe, Leon or Silas? I'd love to see more baby Hudsons though!

I like Valentine. Reminds me of Valentine Warner.

Congrats! I actually like names on both your lists and don't really see one list as being wackier than the other. My favourite names on there are Isaac, Sebastian, Finn and Ranulph, all of which we/I really like (and one of which we still might go for - also due in July).

I don't think I've seen you on the July group...? If you fancy it, come and join us! The latest thread is called July 2016 babies (8)...

I love Malachi - I'm going to add that to my list of boys names for my imaginary 3rd son. It's on the list with Vaughn, which I also love.

I have 2 boys with surnames for first names - Carter and Sullivan. Use them if you wish

I like Malachi, the only other one I know will be a teenager now. Also for you to consider:
Chase
Alexander lots of nice nn Alex, Al, Lex and Xander.
Ezekiel
Hugo
