Short, uncommon boys’ names

[PinkertonRab]

We are expecting a second DS and really struggling with a name. Our shortlist is:

Beck
Sonny
Kit
Milo
Jesse
Beau
Rudy
Ace

But none of these is quite it. Ideally it wouldn’t be shortened. We like nature names, slightly unusual names, keen to avoid the ‘classics’ as these don’t suit us. If we like the above, what else might be in the ballpark?

Quinn

Logan

Moss
Guy
Amos

Miles
Rowan
Robin

Toba, as in the lake

Ged
Jem
Joss
Zak

Rex
Ned
Leo
Bob (I babysat a Bob once)
Tom
Stan

Jed
Sid
Jonah

Rhett
Wyatt
Dax
Fox
Rex

Gad
Gil
Boaz
Art
Leif

Morgan
Robin
Wren

Thanks all. These are all on the right lines but not quite. I’m not a fan of ‘old man names’ particularly as they don’t fit with our eldest. I have soft spot for Stan or Seth but they don’t really work. That said, I do think Ned is a good suggestion.

Zak, Leo etc just feel too ‘normal’ for us and I’m not a big fan.

Beginning or ending with S doesn’t work with our surname.

Rhett, Kit and Art I really like but wonder if the T will get dropped in our accent and then when I make an effort not to, it sounds like I’m trying to put on a posh voice

Merlin or Huw

Ivo

Ned and Stan are old man names though!

Cal (short for Calvin, Callum or Caleb)
Ross
Finn
Iggy (short for Inigo)

Lars
Jude
Robin

Wilf
Noah
Brett
Kit
Jet

Jonty
Nate
Sol

Otto or Otis?

Lars does end in S but it's a more z sound.

Pip

Hal

Roan
Ash
