Following on from the Short Edgy Girls names which I loved! (and has certainly lengthened my list!!) I'd be interested to hear peoples favourites boys names in his category as I think this is much harder!

Cliff is brilliant.
You could also have Craig or Rock.

Grin @ MikeUniformMike

"Edgy" is a bit of a weird requirement, IMO. It sounds very "try-hard".

And some of these names (like Arlo) are names that people pick because they think they sound edgy, only to find that loads of other people had the same idea so they become totally bland.

If you wanted to be genuinely edgy you'd choose something really uncool like Graham.

AJPTaylor · 30/07/2018 13:27

Gary or Lee
