Need an unusual but nice boys name...

[Sophiemck95]

I'm due a baby boy in July 2017, but am really struggling to find a name I actually like. I want a strong, unusual name that nobody really has but it's proving difficult. Somebody please help. My boyfriend doesn't like Leo, Carter or Hugo. Please help me I'm driving myself mad lol

Lobster - you'd pronounce it Gabe-rille instead of the female version which would be Gab-riel

Gabriel is definitely the male version, as in the angel Gabriel...

Gillam is a name I've only ever heard once from a family friend .... think he'd be about 25 now

Silas is another, and I like it too

Wes or Wesley.

David
Martin
Jabus
Travis
Ray

We have a 3yo Jude and are currently expecting a River. On my list this time was Xander, Griffin, Nate, Jesse, Sonny, Nixon, Rafferty, Atticus and Bodhi.

Jude seems to be climbing in popularity although it's still outside of the top 50. This does bother me somewhat but as a huge Beatles fan nothing else came close.

Also unusual names sound extremely posh. Which is fine, if that's what you want but they're more than just 'unusual names', they are social markers.

😂How? Surely it depends on the family and their upbringing as to how 'posh' they are? You can't make someone 'posh' just by giving them an unusual name!

Moses
Grayson
Ezra
Oakley

I agree - unusual names are just that, unusual and not overused. Whether a person is 'posh' or not has nothing to do with their name!

If we have a third and it's a boy I will call him Rudy.

I also like the name jack.

Leo and Hugo are not unusual names.
Oswald.

Yes

Just a note that one of the names in buttercup's list, Rhian, is in fact a girl's name (it's from the Celtic word riganta, meaning 'queen', though came to mean 'maiden' in the middle ages, before being used as a name).
