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?

I think Olaf is better than Paddington.
That's the best I can say!

Beau is VERY popular

You say you dont like old mans names but you like Stan and Seth 🙈

Zed

Ben
Pip
Milo
Roman
Rowan
Jed
Noah

Fox
Or Wren
Both nature related and short

Gil
Wren
Gilbert
Mo

@Awwlookatmybabyspider "Is Olaf ridiculous"
@JaneJeffer "Let it go."

This post sounds like I've written it. We have such similar taste and we have Beau, Sonny, Jesse, Kit, Rudy on our list. Current fave is Kit but like you, aren't sure and the others are quite popular around here.

Also considering Drew, Guy, Joss, Cai (pronounced like sky), Mack, Finn (lovely but too popular), Reid, Miles... but like you we don't love any so know exactly how you feel

Bodhi (pronounced bo-dee)

Jago.

Conn

Afton

Evren

Koa

@Violetlavenders

Quinn

I came on to say Quinn aswell!

Just want to say that those suggesting Mo/Moe - all the ones I know are nn’s for Mohammed. It’s used a lot .

I know a baby Ozzie (not short for anything).
