Boys name you weren’t quite brave enough to use?

[Babyboynamehmm]

Struggling to think of another boys’ name. I like names that aren’t super popular - so i’d love to hear your boy name choices that maybe were ever-so-slightly too “out there” for you to use!

I have a Gregor and I love the name I've never considered it very 'out there'!

I think it's more about time/place in terms of trends at that time ....

Iin a time when every second boy was being called Connor, Aiden, Declan, Rory, Kylar, Skylar, Tyler, Kaiden, Jayden, Rayden etc. etc. 'Gregor' was truly out there!! lol

Love the name.

I don't know the gender of my unborn yet but for boys names I love Ivo and Fox. Not really "out there" as such but probably are for where I live! We are over run with Alfie's and Ollie's here

Ex was absolutely insistent that DS1 was going to be Øyvind (Öyvind? Can't remember how to spell it...). No idea where it came from, think he may have been a footballer?

I liked Douglas but for some reason DP wouldn't consider it and thought it was far too something or other. Douglas? Surely it's quite ordinary.

I wanted to call my first son Dylan, our surname starts with the letter 'C', and my dad said that I couldn't possibly choose this name, as people would say his initials are 'D&C' as in dilation and curettage.

I don't happen to agree with him at all, but this really put me off and so I was unable to use anything beginning with D after that.

A name I would love to use for a boy if I had another, is Etienne.

A girls name I've always loved, is Indigo.

Caleb

Never heard of that

Barnaby, Felix, Edmund

I know, I don't think any single person would have heard of that either. Just in my dads head I think. 😓

I'm sure David Cameron never came across it.

Charles-Valentine (French pronounciation) 😳

But Rock of, to most people. And increasingly a service station…

Zepherin

Ivan

Roger

I liked Malachi, but it got vetoed, in turn though his father liked Luther, but I vetoed it.

We ended up with a lovely name for DS and it suits him, so it all worked out in the end, and to be honest I can't imagine him being a Malachi or a Luther now. 🤣

Probably not the same but I had 1 mc and 1 stillbirth and I named the babies alex, aspen and river. Names I wouldn't traditionally use but were very close to my heart.

Saul

DH veteod Wolfgang because, "people will just think of Mozart." 🤷‍♀️

DS's actual name has been mentioned at least 3 times on this thread.

Jake?! Intrigued by what your ds is called if you think Jake is a brave choice.
