Does a BOYS' name exist that isn't overly popular, sound similar to something overly popular, about to become overly popular or just plain boring or dated?

Blatantly plagiarising from another poster's thread but I have been wondering this about boys' names. DH & I are expecting our first baby in September and we've agreed on a girls' name but have absolutely no idea what to call our baby if it's a boy (we don't know the sex).

All suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'm just trying to remember what I was considering when we had our last DC!

My ds is called Patrick. He has only ever come across one other in this country. I think it fills your brief perfectly.

My DS' name complies and hasn't been mentioned yet

I like old fashioned names. What about;

Donald
Frank
Sydney
Patrick
Albert
Arthur

Brian? Derek? Cedric? Cecil? Cyril? Arthur? Sidney? Roger? Neville? Nigel? Alan?

Yes, lots of them exist imo. Just look outside the top 250 or so.

Nice to see my thread resurrected. We found out we are having a boy so it's been really useful! I think we've decided on a name now. ☺
