Classic but unusual boy names?

[withacherryonthetop]

Is this even a possible combo? Asking for friend who is having a boy. She likes more traditional or biblical names- think Isaac, Caleb, Abel, Henry etc. her dh likes more unique/modern names like neo and jaxon. Any suggestions on names that are traditional but not mega common would be great. Or any names that might be a middle ground! She is 37 weeks so not long left to decide! Thanks

We’ve got a Francis. Unusual but not weird.

Fabian.

Vaughn
Rhett

Hubert

It sounds like your friends husband won't like the usual classic but unusual suggestions. Abel is more unusual than Jaxon (which is in the top 50, so hardly unusual). Here are some names which I think sound less traditional, but still have a history of use:
Alaric
Orin
Remy
River
Stellan

Edmund
August
Marcus
Solomon
Jude
Harold (Hal)
Ernest
Otis
Luther
Edison
Elon
Elton
Herman
Huxley
Jarvis
Kendal
Pierce
Piers
Presley
Spencer
Wren

Most of the names listed on here won't be all that unusual.

Neo and Jaxon are both awful.
Neil and Jason might be compromises

Axel

I don't know a single child called Fred. So cute!
