Need a boy’s name!

[Cazastrophe]

Ladies, am pregnant with first child after 10 years TTC. Obviously over the moon! We’ve decided not to find out the second of the baby. We’ve chosen a girl’s name: Lorelei (pronounced laurel-eye) and middle name Rae but are stumped for a boy’s name we both like.

He doesn’t like Nathan or Joshua
I don’t like Joseph or James ...

Really want a name that is fairly unique/uncommon like our girl’s choice.

Can anyone help?

Sex not second!!

Roland (Vera Britain Testament of Youth) Jack (Kipling).

Lysander
Alexander
Gideon
Gabriel
Isaac
Luca
Lucian
Lorcan
Leo
Lance
Elijah
Elias
Emmett

Bertie
Dominic
Samuel

Jeremy (nn Jem)
Congratulations, and I love the name lorelei

Congratulations !! But you've had 10 YEARS to think about a name
How about Hunter or Tate?

Nikolai?

Nathan, Joshua, Joseph and James are not particularly uncommon names. They are all biblical names - is that something you're looking for?

What about:
Josiah
Raphael
Eli
Jonas
Bartholomew
Thaddaeus

Ok, thinking outside the box. Another German mythology name? :-)

Siegfried
Alberich
Gunther

Or indeed Norse:

Alf
Gunnar
Vidar

Lorelai is quite a romantic mythological name to me. Maybe a literary characters like:

Dorian
Jude
Gabriel
Ernest
Benedict

Xander
Torin
Felix
Eric
Vincent
Ishmael
Stefan
Marcus
Tristan
Lawrence
Barnaby
Raymond
Edwin
Peter
Alistair
Jasper

Ethan or Joel.

Would Nathaniel go down better with him than Nathan...?

I'm taking you at your word re: "unique/uncommon", just so you know...

Jethro
Solomon
Piran
Jago
Xavier
Leander
Athelstan
Evander
Roscoe
Ezekiel
Anselm
Asa

I love the name Lorelei (I'm a big Gilmore Girls fan!)

Zebedee
Orion
Indigo
Hudson
Finnegan
Lysander
Hamish
Dorian
Ivo
Kasimir
Fabian
Caspian

Jareth?

David?
Jonathan?
Christopher?
Patrick?
Mark?
Phillip?

Nicodemus
Spartacus
Horatio

Lorelei Rae is such a mouthful , I find it so difficult to say but I think that's the Scottish accent haha . All the rrrr sounds.

Sorry I'm completely rubbish at boys names and even worse at unique names as I'm more a traditional names girl
But congrats on finally getting pregnant, 10 years is so long. You must be over the moon

Laurence
Timothy
Matthew
Tobiah
Lucien
Samuel
Tyrone
Julian
Jeremy
Terence
Raymond
Nicholas
Clifford

Ha ha thanks , Rae is after my grandfather and uncle both called Raymond ; both passed away recently. The middle name for a boy will be Ray. Hubby doesn’t like Raymond and doesn’t want Ray as a boy’s first name either! It’s difficult!

Rae/Ray both for girls seem to be the middle name of choice at the moment! It's popping up everywhere

Thanks all, I like Gabriel.
We’ve had a think and although not unique, we both quite like Elliott & Alexander. 🧐

Very unfortunate to post that after 10 years of TTC, my pregnancy resulted in miscarriage at 5 months so please, do not respond to this thread any more. Seems I am unable to delete. Thank you.
