Help with Boys' Names

[LooseyGoosey]

Hello!

Please help, we're really struggling with names for boys. We have pretty much decided on two full names for girls:

Elspeth Daphne
Josephine Robyn

We don't have loads of criteria, but we're looking for boys names that are uncommon (ideally not in the top 100), but known and reasonably straight-forward to spell and pronounce. We did like

Rory Ellis
Max Benjamin

but both Rory and Max are quite popular at the moment. Our surname begins with W and has one syllable.

Any help much appreciated!

Camden Ellis
Hudson Ellis
Justin Ellis
Vincent Ellis
Levi Benjamin
Vance Benjamin

I really like Rory and Max!

Here are some other names (mostly) well outside the top 100:

Ones with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate
Rafferty nn Raffy
Sidney nn Sid
Laurence nn Laurie

Other ideas:

Eli
Justin
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb

Slightly more out- there

River
Bodhi
Otto

Both suggested Justin @Aquamarine1029 - never ever met anyone called Justin in my life. Don’t think it’s used anymore at all

Hector
Hugo
Gareth
Richard
Robert
Marvin
Timothy

Hugh
Rafferty
Atticus
Felix
Rex
Robin
Peregrine. Pringle for short.

Gideon
Jeremy
Cameron
Tristan
Edmund
Wilfred
Nathaniel
Hayden

I like both your suggestions.

Try them with the surname. If your surname is Wolfe, Rory might not go (roary).
If your surname is something that you could measure (Wall, Wood), Max might be a bit like Max Headroom.

Thanks all! Some lovely suggestions!

Front runners now are:

Ellis Bernard
Otis Harry

...thoughts?

No to both sorry.

Ellis is ok. Bernard maybe.
I don't like Otis at all.Harry is ok but an odd middle name.

Bernard Ellis and Harry Otis flow better.

Your previous choices were much better.

Edwin
Owen
Quentin
Benedict

No to both. So very different from your original choices.

I think when you don’t include a middle name Rory followed by a surname beginning with W could be quite hard to say!

I love Rory. How about ...
Reggie
Hughie
Nico
Blake
Forrest
Zachary (Zack)
Maximus
Levi
Cohen
Tyger
Lennon
Albie

Otis
Eben
Julian
Austin
Oswin
Rex
Kit
Augustine
Severus

For some reason Cameron came to mind. Cameron Rory sounds kind of nice!
