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 Confused

FWIW I wouldn't have associated Cairn with either graves or Scotland. My first thought was Cairns in Australia.

I taught a cairn once!

Anyway. Jackery?! Is this an actual name?

My little boy is called Keir, which is Scottish, unusual and lovely (in my opinion!)

We really like Rafe and Ellis.... the top two for our unborn son.

VickyA6625 · 25/01/2018 17:14

Thank you everyone. Lots of suggestions there but still set on Cairn 😂 nothing else really grabbing me as much as that. There are a lot of names that have been suggested that are on my list but the their name I liked was Addie so it will be between that and Cairn x

BrutusMcDogface · 25/01/2018 17:16

I love Addie, but would have thought it was a girl's name?

VickyA6625 · 25/01/2018 17:32

We liked Adley for a girl which we would shorten to Addy but figured it could be used for a boy xx
