What is ur fav list of unusual boy names

Walter is so cute !!!

I wouldn't say any of those are unusual I know at least one of all of those, some I know two!

Most people are just listing foreign names here.

Cassian

Not heard Cassian before that's going on my list !!!! Love it🙂

Oh dear - please can people let listings be

If it's suggested on Mumsnet and you live in the West, it probably won't be unusual, it will be culturally appropriated.

Linden
Efren
Cassian
Cal

I've always liked Moss, and maybe not as rare but Roman is nice too.

Gideon

Corin.

I'm biased though

In the latest rankings, Jude was 40th, and Ezra 51st, admittedly Toby would be higher if it was combined with Tobias... but Ivo is ranked 729, and Saul 871.

I refuse to believe that you know people with every single name on my list!

Anyway, you clearly want more unusual, so I'll bow out. I would caution you, though, against giving a name so unusual and "out there" that your son will hate it and risk being teased for it. At least give a more neutral middle name as an option.

Why does it bother you so much? Op has asked for unusual names, pp’s are just pointing out those names aren’t unusual. Theo and Arlo are both top 20 names.

Neither Theo nor Arlo were on my list.

I know..I was responding to @mastertomsmum who is getting worked up that pp have pointed out her names weren’t unusual.

Please remember that your child has to go to school and bullying WILL happen if the name is too unusual. Your child will have to get a job when they're an adult too. Your child lives with that name for the rest of their lives not you. 👍

That’s a Stephen King book in a one.

I p’ve always liked Gabriel.

Hector

Maybe if you live in Buttfuck Nowhere and every child is named out of the top 100. In my son's inner city school where 50+ languages are spoken, everyone has an 'unusual' name and nobody bats an eyelid at any of them.

Beau
Blaire
Creed
Sterling
Atreus

Not Beau! It's so terrible! I'm a French speaker so maybe it's less awful if you're not... but please don't call your child "Beautiful"

Travis and Milo

No one has attached you for goodness sake, just lived out some of your names, like Theo are common. You were the one with lots of question marks commenting that you didn't think someone's comment was necessary for pointing out a simple fact.

Maybe if you call you kids Ghteogaechtwjg or D#a4 but most of these names on here wouldn't stand out at my school. Only the Irish ones
