TrueScrumptious · 11/04/2023 21:57

Arlo and Ezra are pretty common.
I quite like Archer.
Fletcher is in a similar vein.

MoreHairyThanScary · 11/04/2023 21:58

Amos was my grandads name and I love the nn moss

redyellowpinkbluegreen · 11/04/2023 21:59

Archer is uncommon but both my husband and I both have cousins who have called their son archer which is so random. One is in Australia and one in England.

So so many Arlos. I love Ezra

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/04/2023 22:28

If we are looking at uncommon boys names then I like short, simple ones (somehow seems to make them more useable to me)- if you like Ezra and Arlo, you might like Ivo, Jago, Asa or Elio? Or maybe Bram, Heath or Lev or Zev?
