Cannot choose a boy’s name! Help!

[Dreamcatcher34]

It’s starting to drive me crazy. I like so many girl’s names but it’s a boy, so I’m stuck. I like relatively unusual but not completely out-there/stupid names. I’d like them to be the only one in their class, but I still want a lovely name. Please help.

Adrian
Raphael
Sidney
Everett
Blaine
Taylor
Jonas
Harlan
Cooper
Travis
Dara
Corbyn
Ford
Connor
Silas
Marcus
Roman
Otis

I've seen Otis mentioned a good few times but I know thats grown massively in popularity recently, I even know someone who called their baby that 😊

God why is this so hard?? I think Malachi, Sebastian and Atlas are probably my favourite of the suggestions so far.

Jonah
Elias
Rafi
Asher
Aitan

Axel if you like Atlas?
Marley if you like Malachi ?

Spencer
Stanley
Hugo
Ellis

Yes yes Malachi.
Or how about Mulligan?

@Awwlookatmybabyspider I put Reuben as in over ten years of teaching I've never taught one! Must be just my area though

Pick a name that was popular in the 60s/70s/80s, will be unusual without being ‘out there’.

Bartholemew
Alan
Gregory
Eric
Noel
Drew
Carl
Leonard
Nathaniel

DD would have been Laurence or Hugo!

Love love love Malachi. In 25 yrs of teaching I’ve never taught one.

Heath
Lemuel

Wilbraham

Micah
Mitchell
Atticus
Cornelius
Dion
Theon
Torbin
Rafferty

There are 3 Sebastians in my son's class. Lovely name though.

all of my 4 kids have always been the only ones in their class. And two of them have top 100 names! it's partly the luck of the draw.

Check the ONS lists - there are loads of great classic names down the bottom with only a handful a year. Those names are your best bet!

If you really want only one in the class you need to look at the baby name list from 30-40 years ago.

@badg3r I have had the same.rhing happen! She was at my DDs nursery a year or too younger, and I said oh no way that's my daughters name! She looked so annoyed, I was like I choose it first my daughter is older! Hahaha
