I like Geoffrey.Smile

stophuggingme · 26/01/2020 19:37

God not Dominic unless you like Dominic Cummings Grin
Amos and Geoffrey ( which is awful) are the only remotely unusual or underused names on your thread

Congratulations though and I love your three children’s names

Unusual names that would go ( i think) are
Malachi
Viggo
Fitz
Miles
Grant
Ainsley

If you're looking for relatively unusual I would cross off Charles, Henry, and Thomas immediately. And probably also Jude, Louis, Dominic and Rory.

That leaves Geoffrey, Amos, Ralph and Reggie. Geoffrey would be my pick of those, though I also quite like Amos which goes really well with Joel.

Other suggestions you might like:
Giles
Edgar
Hereward
Fergus

Agree with PP, most of your names aren’t unusual. I really like them but don’t pick them if you’re expecting them to be unusual.

Here are some suggestions with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel Nn Nate
Rafferty nn Raffy
Sidney nn Sid

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake (top 100 so maybe too common for you)
Angus
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb

Slightly more out- there

River
Bodhi
Otto

I love Amos and dont see it come up very often!

Poppydaisies · 26/01/2020 20:08

I only like Amos.

hellololabells2019 · 26/01/2020 20:09

The common ones are my dh. He is worried children get picked on if they have an unusual name

I love Thomas and think it goes the best with your other DC's names.

glitterbiscuits · 26/01/2020 20:11

Not Reggie, loads about.

bridgetreilly · 26/01/2020 21:14

Point out to your DH that practically every other kid today has an unusual name.

missyB1 · 26/01/2020 21:22

Mitchell
Christian
Rory is lovely
Billy
Conal

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 26/01/2020 21:39

Amos is great. I’d be tempted to use it this time but it doesn’t work with our DS’s name.

MsJuniper · 26/01/2020 21:41

I like Jude, Henry & Rory best from your list but would discount Jude as sharing an initial with Joel.

You could also consider Lawrence, Christopher or Caspar.

sawyersfishbiscuits · 26/01/2020 21:57

Amos is nice. I also like:
Malachi
Ezra
Solomon (Sollie)
Reuben
Noah

user1493494961 · 26/01/2020 22:08

Not keen on Geoffrey, Reggie or Ralph but the rest of your list is nice and any would go with your other children's names (I don't think Viggo or Fitz would!)

Astronica · 27/01/2020 03:55

I like Geoffrey, Henry, Thomas, Louis, Dominic, Ralph and Rory. Any of those would work well with your family. Henry, Thomas, Louis and Rory are popular though. I love Rafe as an alternative to Ralph.
Milo
Magnus
Fergus
Felix
Rufus

I like Amos, Thomas, Henry. The last two aren't unusual though, so Amos it is Grin
