Original but not weird..

Hi everyone,
Can anyone suggest any boys names that are unusual but not weird? We simply cannot agree on a name but we know we don't want a traditional name (nothing wrong with them just not for us!) xx

Hmmm how about...

Tyro
Izaiah
Cyan
Azariah
Tidus
Nakoah (this one is what we would have gone for if we were having a boy)

Good luck choosing!

We've got a Zephyr and a Montgomery and my brother - in - law has 3 sons - Orion, Cyrus and Ignatius.
You could also try to decide on a theme - space, Greek names, water etc.

Tyro means 'beginner' or 'recruit' originally Latin but also in English. In Greek mythology, however, Tyro is a female character who kills her children.

Cyan (sigh-ann) is the technical term for a particular shade of bright blue. It is widely used by printers and others working with coloured inks, TV screens and computer monitors en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_cyan

Tidus (Tee-dus) is a character in a fantasy fighting game.

florascotia thank you knew the Cyan fact but other two are interesting, a female character that kills her kids is prob not an ideal childs name 👍🏼
