Boys names you don't really hear?

[MissPepper8]

I'm expecting next year, we're not going to find out but I want to have some choice.

When pregnant with DS we had loads of girls names and no boys..

DS actually got named after the student nurse's son who helped me bf and had a little one, who was naughty like my little one (not latching on). But I had to see his face (sounds stupid) before we named him too.

So I like (could change) Frankie, Theo and Rowan. We liked Bear but my parents hate it..

I like meanings to names too, so something with a lovely meaning could swing it for me.

Thank you

I like the name Ori - means My Light x

I've got two boys and had limited names for them!
I like Innes and Torin.

I think Theo is quite popular at the moment.

Baby names I don't hear much (I don't claim to love any of them, mind):
Harold
Trevor
Stephen
Matthew
Gordon
Victor
Leopold
Nigel
Christopher
Simon
James
Geoffrey
Cyril
Percival
Sean
Timothy

Bruno
Alaric
Roderick
Wulf
Leo
Clement
Cosmo
Peregrine

We liked Bear but my parents hate it..

You’re kidding, right? Bear has to be the worst boys’ name ever.

@RedCowboyBoots lots of those names are in my family already haha..

I don't know maybe I'm too picky? Im really struggling, even a middle name. I thought Thomas but that'd my sons middle name lol..

I like Matthew actually. Never thought of Matthew.

@MrsGilly1 my names Lucy and it literally means light lol x

@FamilyOfAliens Could say Gary or Keith could be the worst boys names ever really.

Bernard

Saul
Ivor
Milo
Axel
Otto
Felix
Hector
Jasper
Elliot
Peter
Richard
Guy
Hugh

My ds is Theodore, I often call him bear always have done. I think it is a lovely nn.

Theo/Theodore means God’s gift. Lovely meaning and beautiful name!

Theo is very common atm, give it another few months and it will the same as Archie / Alfie - every other kid

Theodore is a lovely name.
Bear is a man who drinks his own wee.
(Or a terrifing animal that with decapitate you if it fancies it.)
But if that doesn't put you off, Theodore is a beautiful name that will give you an excuse to use Bear.
Edward works quite well for that purpose, too.

Every second boy where I live is called Theodore, Theo, Ted or Teddy - it’s very common at the moment so avoid it if you want him to be the only one.

Laurence (Larry or Laurie)
Edmund (Ed or Ned)
Wilbur (Wilfred is getting popular)
Maurice
Maxwell
Tristan
Francis
Lucian
Ezekiel
Jeremiah
Nathaniel
Raife
Rafferty
Jasper
Christian
Timothy
Walter (Walt)
Vincent (Vinny)
Douglas (Dougie)
Bartholomew
Gabriel
Montgomery/Montrose (Monty)

Will decapitate you* oops

Bradley
Ricky
Scott

How about Edward and call him Bear as a nn?

I love Nathaniel. I was not allowed to use that.

If you like Matthew, how about Matthias?

Or Blair or Blaise as an alternative to Bear?

Just remembered! Two outstanding boys I taught with names I’d not come across before or since...Troy and Horatio.

My son is Blaise and he is the only one of that name in his high school. He always gets comments on how unusual his name is - but it's not an 'out there' name either - if you see what I mean.

Christopher, Melvyn, Clive, John, Martin. Basically Google 1960/70's boys names. Most of them won't have been popular since last century!

Monty
Ptolemy
Maximus
Issac
Isiah
Jonah
Hobart - Hobie
Humphrey

Definitely not Bear.

Bear is not a name anyway.

I was going to say Keith because it's one of those names which never seems to be attached to anyone stronger than a wet lettuce leaf so at least it's not used much.

Kevin. There's even a song by The Wedding Present called Give My Love To Kevin.
