Baby boy names?!

Evening all!

I’m really struggling to choose a name for my baby boy and would love some opinions on my options so far, and any suggestions are welcomed.
Due to coronavirus I now have until June to register him but am feeling really awful just calling him the baby all the time :(

  • Maximilian/Maximiliano/Maximus
  • Azai
  • Aries
  • Adonis
  • Laurent
  • Théo
  • Zac/Zachary (love this name but very common so not keen)

I’m looking for a name that is not very common. Something different/unusual. I’m quite into strong Greek and Latin names also.

I would avoid Adonis - it's a lot to live up to.

I really like Théo and Laurent. Will it bother you if mispronounced? My Mam finds it very annoying when people butcher my non English name.

Maximilian and Maximus are my favourites from your list. Macsen is a Welsh version of Maximus which is on my list (MAX-en, with the en as in pen and hen). Magnus Maximus is known as Macsen Wledig in Welsh.

Also a PP suggested Hector which is lovely - I used to know a very cute little boy called Hector when I was a teenager and it really suited him.

I love Maximillian nn Max so that would be my choice

Second choice would be Zachary

Adonis is too much to live up to @IndiaInds

And Roman is racing up the charts faster than any other name so I wouldn’t pick that if you want something that’s not too common. There’s 3 Roman’s in our local NCT group of 8 babies! 😂

How about Eli? Ellis? Laurence?

How about Kingsley? I'm loving this name right now
