Brother to Everest

Hi all
I have a 2 yo named Everest and we love the name. We call him Evi (Ev-ee) for short.
I’m looking for another unique boy name that’s cool like everest but not one of the growingly popular cool names. Needs to be less known.
We were thinking of Oslo (ozzy as a nn). What do you think of that? My husband worries it sounds like a dogs name though I’ve never heard of a dog named Oslo. Is it too weird?

Any thoughts or other ideas that are unique and strong like everest?

I quite like the idea of a toddler named Everest. I think it works. If Everett is a name, why not?

Wolverhampton. Wolf for short.

I don't believe the OP.

There's no way someone would call their poor child Everest. Not believing this one, OP.

Rubble, obviously. He's the best pup.

Not RTFT but Hyacinth Bucket's BIL was Onslow.

Snowdon is a legit name where I’m from. One of dhs great uncles was snowdon.

Also hedley. Helier. Winter.

ChateauMyself · 18/04/2020 15:22

Fit the best...

MikeUniformMike · 18/04/2020 15:23

Nile would be a cool name.

I was going to suggest Australia nn Ozzy, but you might wish to save that for their sister.

TeaMilkNoSugarThanks · 18/04/2020 15:23

Helvellyn. Nickname, Hell.

Or Pen y Fan, nickname Van. Or Penny.

FizzyGreenWater · 18/04/2020 15:36

Is it too weird?

That ship has long sailed.

Call himl literally anything you like.

CaryStoppins · 18/04/2020 15:40

I actually like Atlas!

How about Arlo or Otto instead of Oslo?

Lweji · 18/04/2020 15:42

It has to be Caitwo. Grin

(Pronounced K2, of course)

Kangchenjunga has a certain ring to it, also lots of nick name possibilities, and makes a great sib set as it's the third highest mountain in the world.

I also like Scunthorpe with Scun as a NN, something a bit different from Paris!

Cissyandflora · 18/04/2020 16:03

Mount Sinai. That was going to be my choice if we had a boy. We had a girl (sad face).

Ohwhatbliss · 18/04/2020 16:10

Atlas

Ellmau · 18/04/2020 16:12

Zion?

AdriannaP · 18/04/2020 16:14

Evi is a girls name in some countries

Ohwhatbliss · 18/04/2020 16:14

How funny. I instantly commented Atlas before I had rtft and see it's been mentioned at least twice before
