Unusual Boys Names

[VickyA6625]

Hello.
I’m looking for an unusual boys name.
My other son is Millen and I’m in love with Cairn for my boy on the way...
My other half isn’t as keen.
Feel like we have heard all the other names

friend da recently had a Torin and a Lark.

I love Murphy but might not work with middle name being Murray

my Nephew is called Hector. At first it got a few odd looks but now he is here and has such a personality it just suits him. I realise in some parts of the world Hector is not unusual but I have never personally come across a Hector

Diggory

Perran

I know a Carn.

Have you thought about looking at Native American names? They are unusual and some are really lovely.

Cole
Cohen
Cameron
Arlo
Angus
Harris
Gordon
Lyle

Angus, Hugo and Munro are all nice names.

I know an adult Cairn, actually, in his 30's. He's a terrific person, actually, so I'm fairly positive about the name.

One too many actuallys there.

I quite like Aurey, meaning golden-haired.

Arlo isn't unusual exactly - its top 50. It's a trendy one which was unusual 5 years ago but isn't any more.

Cairn is definitely going to make a lot of people think of a grave, because a cairn is a pile of stones marking a grave and most people will only ever have heard that word used to mean that.

As your first child has a surname as a first name what about Channing or Hendrix or Cooper. I wouldn't go for them myself but the associations are pleasanter than a grave marker.

Eben
Cohen
Griffin
Oren
Eren
Draco 😉

Alban.

Rick
Warren
Brett
Craig
Clyde

I think most people would associate Cairn with Scotland as in we have a mountain called Cairn o mount rather than the grave meaning.

Thanks for the suggestions guys x
