Can't find a boy's name I like!

[Littlebitsleepy]

I must have looked at 50 different lists of boys names and while there are some I quite like (some of the old man names, or ones with historical links), I haven't found a name I love yet. Can anyone think of any boys names that don't get suggested all the time that I may not have come across yet?

Which names do you quite like?
Short names? e.g. Paul, Mark, John
Long names? e.g. Benedict, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Horatio
Unusual names? e.g. Peregrine
Classic names? e.g. Charles, Edward, Philip
Religious names? Saints? OT?

Probably longer or more unusual names. I quite like a lot of the names on the medieval/old English lists but not sure I can bring myself to use them. I've got friends with babies called Sidney, Arthur and Felix and like all of those but don't want to give mine the same name.

Our son is called Maverick and we absolutely adore it. It not totally out there but its a little different. We love the meaning and it really suits him.

And yes, hubby is a Top Gun fan lol.

Pregnant with DC2 and although we dont know the gender yet, if its a boy we like Sonny.

Love the name Nathaniel

Rupert!!

Some great suggestions, thanks! I still don't think I've seen one that I love but maybe that's not going to happen. Maverick's a brilliant name!

We have an Austin, nn Aus, Aussie.
Unusual but not weird. I hope 😅
