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?

Jago
Kit
Fin
Luca

Jim
Ray
Les

Torin

Kerin
Raoul
Cobi
Brodie

Troy

Ian
Steve
Rob
Barry
Glen
Neil
Mick
Kev
Gav
All rare and short!

Garth

My wee boys is Corran meaning spear bearer.

Also Joss

I have an Oakley, everyone calls him Oak 😊

Hux

I like Milo the best of your original list.

River
Leif
Van
Seth
Abel

Redd
Jago

Tobin
Sven
Bram
Laszlo
Flynn - less common than Finn

I wouldn’t worry about the originals of Ivo. I have a friend who has a brother Ivo and they’re from the Home Counties, no other heritage or connections. No one thinks it’s odd.

Ziggy?

Oak

Joel
Luke
Mark
If you like Mac but feel it’s incomplete then how about using it as a short form for Macsen?
