Jermajesty.
(Jermaine Jackson inflicted that gem upon his son.
Don't be getting too carried away with "a bit different" and "unique" !!!)

In the land of the sane, what about Flynn?
Extra points if you or your husband are a redhead: the literal Irish origins are apparently "son of the red-haired one".

If you want unique, you'll need to make one up.

CampfireZen · 27/07/2019 07:39

Ha! Random crosspost with GenerationYmember.
Well that's 2 votes for Flynn, then.

You've not given us much to go on, what names do you and your dh like and we'll see if we can think of anything else that might suit both tastes.

Some people have an odd definition of modern if it includes Lysander and Cuthbert.

Don't go with Clint. Causes all sorts of problems when he starts writing in cursive.
