Rare/unique baby boy names?

My partner and I are struggling to find a name for our baby boy that we can both agree on. We agree on the fact that we don't want it to be a name that's in the top 50.
I love more modern names.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot 😊

I love unique names, I’m due in 6 weeks and all my in usual names no one seems to like, everyone seems to have a negative opinion, even for the names I’ve made up! My opinion is go for what u like as ur baby!

Here are I few that are on my list thought I’d share

Zakiyan/ zakiyon
Amari
Deontae
Pavle
Stefan
Treycen
Taimach

😂

Mismlouisa88 · 16/04/2020 00:45

Trust me everyone so bloody opinionated really puts a downer on u !

@whitedogpoo my god my phone keeps changing Locke to Log 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

I have a feeling Louisa is an aristocratic lady sitting in front of a fire with corgi on one knee and a bowl of caviar on the other impersonating those she despises.

whitedogpoo · 16/04/2020 00:51

😂 I did chuckle but there could well be a baby Log out there somewhere 😂

@Mismlouisa88 Deontae and Stefan are fairly common where I live.
Maybe stick to one of the others you like if you want unique?

Mismlouisa88 · 16/04/2020 00:59

Wow didn’t realise I was that funny I must be well entertaining ! Reading some names on here makes me think mine aren’t to bad and unsusal after all

Mismlouisa88 · 16/04/2020 01:02

Oh really I didn’t realise deonate was popular that was one of my first choices.
I also like

Kairo
Kaireece
Cassius and amias
My boy will be mixed race Caribbean and Serbian so I think a unique unusual name is well suited 👍🏼

KrakowDawn · 16/04/2020 01:08

Cassius is gorgeous!

KrakowDawn · 16/04/2020 01:11

Or what about Nico?

Mismlouisa88 · 16/04/2020 01:12

I'm sure you'll find the best one, I can reccommend you Matthew? Alexander? You're free of choose one!

karlamend99 · 16/04/2020 19:11

I'm also agree with those that comments Phoenix, It's a great name too!!!

Iknewyouwerewaitingforme · 16/04/2020 19:22

There’s always a few aren’t there? When people ask for less commonly heard/ unique names they generally do not mean middle of the road, dated, dull names like:
Peter
Andrew
Keith
Philip
Paul
John
Burt
Roger

These might be “rare” but only because they are horrible and every other 50 year old man is called one of them. Please- have some imagination. If you’re trying to be funny, you’re not. You just sound as dull as these names!!
