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 love Edwin - could be Nn’d Bear at a push?

Luke
Dominic

The name Arthur means bear (sorry if someone has already said that)

Nathan - gift from god

@Richlyfruited I'm in Wales, we've got Elliott, Harrisons, Alfie, Felix, Dillion, logan Christopher's, Richards in our family as its quite large. I don't really want to step on toes and go simular, it's hard. But I really like some of those, Dominic is something I hadn't considered.

Thank you if you said Nathan and Arthur too, I've probably seen alot of these but glossed over them and now I see them I think they could go quite nice with my sons name.

Anyone have the problem where you find a nice name but then know/was in school with someone called it and remembered they were irratating or an idiot 😂?

Ronan has a nice meaning.

Axel
Brick both characters in the sitcom The Middle

But how about

Corin
Reston
Jared
Corbet
Fenton

JenZenn, what's wrong with Ptolemy? It's hardly Jayden or one of those awful 'surnames as first names' things.

How do you pronounce it?

Milo

Kristian
John
Michael
Raphael

I love Theo (and Leo), but as you say, quite popular atm. I also love:

Rowan
Aaron
Sacha
Otto
Malakai
Ash

Conrad

Acer

Elliot

Patrick

I like Bear.
Every other guy at work is Matt(hew), so I couldn't think of that as little heard.

Finn, Blake, Cory, Colby, Asher, Abel, Seth, Joel, Mark?

Neo is fab! I wish I’d thought of that!

Blaise means “deformed/stuttering”.....

Brian?! It’s a very old mans name but I love bryony for a girl, so.... plus it reminds me of bear in a way. Bri for short.

Tristan? Though I think that might be popular in some areas (not mine!)

Michael- bit old school, not very popular with little ones. But I love the name!

Cushion- you pronounce Ptolemy like this: TOLL-em-ee.

I think.

David
Conrad
Struan
Ivo
Robin
Douglas
Ian
Ralph
Forrest
Peter
Ernest

Baffled by anyone wondering about how Ptolemy is pronounced.

I know a Ptolemy - Calls himself Tom. Avoid Saul - he'll be called That Saul (my friend was anyway!)
Love Otto, Aubrey...

Kevin
Damien
Christopher
Michael
David
John
Mark
Nigel
Colin

I met a wee boy called Nico recently and thought that was really cool.

It could be worth looking at some name lists from other countries eg France, German, Italy etc.

My DS is called Florian, a very popular name in Germany but practically unheard of here. He's certainly the only one locally, and he has a lot of character so a different name really suits him.

How about Rohan OP?

Joshua - haven't come accross one for a while.

Malachy means Angel/gods messenger

Lucien
