My unusual-ish list of boys names! Opinions/ideas please

[Babycakes1989]

Harlan (OH likes Harlan I like Harlen-nickname could be Lenny)
Cody/kodie
Ezra
Jesse
Kash
Ramsey

I want him to have a middle name too. Ideas? Xx

Harlan - like globetrotters? Hard no
Cody/kodie - a bit dated now, there was a rush of Cory/Cody back in the 80/90s. Just a bit blah now imo
Ezra - lovely but not unique or unusual. It's pretty popular
Jesse - again, not particularly unusual if that's your only goal
Kash / Ramsey- chavtastic

I don't really get the need for yoonique names, either it's nice and others have/will use it or it's a bit shit and your child may not thank you.

Boys names are the hardest, I don't if there's generally more boys so more names or just more variety with boys names so you are exposed to more.

I actually know someone who called their son Cash via work. I think she was into country music. We were all a little but as far as I know no one said anything. She did seem to blush everytime she introduced him ( when she brought him in a few times) , and a few months later he suddenly started being called had a more traditional name. I don't know her well enough to know why she changed it.

Harlen I quite like. It's close to the place name Harlem in the US, but still fine. Similar is Harley ?

The others I'm not so keen on. Personally Jesse is a girls name to me here in the UK.

Ezra I met one too a baby at a breastfeeding group and the mum seemed embarrassed introducing him too, blushed etc, but she could of just been shy? I made the judgment, that she was very religious rather than trendy.

I only like Ezra and Jesse. Jesse is my favourite of the two. I’ve met three Ezra’s in my time, my Dad is Jewish and it’s a fairly common Hebrew name.

Kash is absolutely dreadful.

Ezra is the best from your list but I’m not a massive fan of it.

What about
Idris
Malachi

I know a Harlen, nobody liked his name. I like Jesse

If you'd asked this before I started watching Game of Thrones I would say Ramsey... definitely not now!! LOVE Jesse and Ezra.

I love kash and Ezra

What about

Asher
Franklyn
Ronan
Cassius
Troy
Carey
Ira
Shay
Tate
Ralph

I also don't like any of them.

There is an other thread on here at the moment. Two of the boy suggestions (that weren't too "out there") were Basil and Atlas. Although not top of my list, I can see the appeal. Would you consider those?

Harlan - Harlan Coben fans?
Cody/kodie - Cody is okay. Kodie is bad.
Ezra - had never met one until a year or so ago and now I know three tiny Ezras. It's definitely very trendy all of a sudden.
Jesse - lovely
Kash - No. But Cash is cool when short for Cassius
Ramsey - don't mind this one although he's a baddie ( a bad baddie not a loveable one) on GoT, something to be aware of.

Harlan - like globetrotters? Hard no

Do you perhaps mean the Harlem Globetrotters?

Harlan: like.

Cody/kodie : Cody please don’t be a try hard and go for a unique spelling.

Ezra: I really like this.

Jesse: I think of it as a girls name.

Kash: spell it Cash otherwise it’s try hard again.

Ramsey: no not a fan.

Ezra.

It's probably unfair unfair but the rest (maybe not Jesse) are also all names that would potentially lead to quite negative assumptions, they sound a bit American and made up.

Why call him Harlan if he’s going to be nicknamed Lenny? May as well just call him Lenny

Fletcher
Samson
Marlon
Nate
Tate
Sonny
Bradley
Dylan
Rex
Dexter
Parker
Carter
Lester
Kit
Cassian

please not Ramsey since the hideous rapist character in GoT

Harlow
Jackson
Greyson
Grey
Quinn
Blaze
Blair
Clayton
Eden
Cash (C not K)
Kingston
Parker
Carter
Drew
Dexter
Devon
Emmette
Frankie
Kingsley
Lux
Lincoln
Nate
Tate
Oskar
Payton
Rocco
Brooklyn
Romeo
Travis
Vinnie
Xavier
Zander

Just Lennie?

Ezra or Lenny are nice names.

GOT has also ruined Ramsay for me! Sorry.

If you like the nn Lenny & want an unusual full name, have you considered Lennox?

Kash is awful. Quite like the others.

Suggestions:
Jabez
Josiah
Clyde
Clarence
Lucien
Wilbert
Cole
Egbert (name of early King)

Harlan/Harlen just looks like you've made it up, and not in a good way!

Cody, for me, will always be a girl from Neighbours showing my age

Kodie is hideous

Ezra is nice

Jesse is OK

Ramsey/Ramsay doesn't sound like a name to me, but I don't watch GoT, and i know a village in Essex called Ramsey.

Oops, forgot Kash. Isn't one of Wayne Rooney's kids called Kash? That's enough to put me off.

Isn't the simple soul from Of MIce & Men called Lennie/Lenny?

If so, I wouldn't want to use it for a child of mine.

Lennox is a nice name, though, but I wouldn't be encouraging the use of the nn Lennie in any case.

Don’t you mean Harland?

A child is unique because they are themselves. Self-consciously ‘unique’ names inevitably look gauche, and attract ridicule.

Ezra isn't unusual - it's actually very popular now, I know several born in the last couple of years.

The rest are too try hard, Jesse is provably the best.

I love Lennie OP. Do you dislike Leonard?

Some suggestions:
Hudson (a friends nephew has this name and I've never met another? Maybe goes with your Harlen suggestion
Rafferty
Conan
Ronan
Roman
Caleb
