Unusual rare exotic name to go with amayah
So far

Cassius
Eliyas
Tareyon
Amari
Trey

No negative opinions please keep those to urself !! It’s preference and I don’t like boring names !!
Had quite a few nice suggestions would like some more !!

Hubby likes chris, Alex, trey so very different !

Thanks

I like Elias but not keen on the spelling you’ve used

Elias I prefer this spelling I need to check the meaning of this name still as would be lovely to have a name with meaning
Thanks

Cassius is nice. I like Elias spelled this way too.

Elijah ?

Amayah and Amari are a little too similar I think.

Xavier, Elijah, Isaiah, Sirius, Jamar are unusual but your names have a sort of American feel to them so mine might not fit.

What's the meaning behind Tareyon and how's it pronounced?

You might not like boring names but you're not the one who's got to live with a silly name

I like Cassius but if a name with meaning is what you’re after it may not work for you as I think it means hollow or empty. This put me off it when I contemplated it for DS.

Amari sounds a bit too similar to your daughters name. I’m not keen on Trey personally and I’ve not heard Tareyon - it sounds a bit game of thrones!

Racist-y?

of the ones you've mentioned,
Elias
Christopher
Alexander

i would counsel that what sounds interesting rare or exotic to you now may very soon sound silly pretentious or just plain embarrassing to its bearer.

Elias is nice, shortened to Eli

I love Zafer

Christopher nn Kit
Alexander nn Xander
Elijah
Aaron
Ezekial nn Zeke

Have a look at Old Testament names as they have meanings and are semi familiar without looking made up. The last three names in my list are old Testament names.

Elias is a great name

Rare and exotic?

Most of those names are pretty commonplace these days.

If you called your baby John, he'd likely be the only one in the class.

how do you know OP is not black and/or American?

@jossina and so what if they do?
'Racist-y'? What you said is just pure racist.

Amari is too similar to Amayah. Cassius is the nicest on your list. If you like Trey, what about Troy?

You mentioned on your other thread that you have Bulgarian heritage, and that your husband is from the Caribbean. Are there any Bulgarian names you like, or any names from your husband's culture that you like?

Old testament names are a good shout - you may find names which are unusual enough for you, but traditional enough for your husband.

I would suggest printing two copies of the Top 1000 boys names. Then go through and highlight the names you like, while your husband does the same. Then see if there are any names in common.

Top 1000 in England and Wales: www.britishbabynames.com/blog/top-1000-names-in-england-and-wales-2018.html

You can also get the top 1000 for Scotland and the top 500 for NI.

If you look at ONS stats I believe you can download all names given to 3 or more babies in a particular year (I think Scotland may publish all names given to 1 or more babies). So you can see names outside the top 1000 that way.

Darkgreener is a useful website which tracks the popularity of a name. So you can see whether something you like is shooting up in popularity, stable or declining in popularity.

I like Cassius the most out of your list. I also like Elias, although spelt that way.

I was going to suggest Taran, but I see @FrancisCrawford has beaten me to it! Here are some more suggestions:

Cassian
Orion
Jonas
Evander
Lysander
Nate
Malachai
Torin
Ivo
Magnus
Jesse
Zephyr
Jethro
Teilo
Piran
Cato

If you and your husband have different tastes the ‘babyname’ app is quite fun - you both download it and swipe right for the names you like. You then see your matches - the names you both swiped right for. Some names on there are quite different too.

Joe exotic? 😂

Thanks for your positive messages
I also like Cassius and Elias
I admit a few I have do sound American,
I just liked the names I guess, I have added a few to my list that’s been stated

I also prefer cassian
