Uncommon boy names please

[MummaLeonax]

Struggling with boy names! my second is due in two months and have no idea on a boy name as my favourite boy name his big brother has please any different, unusual, uncommon boy names would be helpful thank you! I've searched the whole of Google too and hardly found any i have a couple but not 100% on they are Arlo, Ezra, my husband likes Archer.

What do you mean by uncommon OP? In 2021 in England and Wales Arlo was the 20th most popular name and Ezra was 51st. That would make both names very popular to me and both are still rising in popularity.

The Darkgreener site is a great resource for checking England and Wales name popularity and weather names are on an upward trend.

Archibald.

Roman
Quentin
Magnus
Vincent

But there are still way too many middle aged ones around!!

Give it another 20 years or so and they'll sound fresh and new again

Arlo, Ezra, and Archer/Archie. are popular.

Nigel
Richard
Gordon
Norman
Winston
Donald
Floyd
Duncan
Malcolm

Check the stats for Scotland for names like Cameron and Fraser. They may be very popular.

Check similar names for popularity. e.g. Theodore/Theo, Lucas/Luca, Orlando/Lando

Orlando is unusual, but Lando is on a very steep upward rise.

I know a little boy called Arlo, whose brother is called Hunter.

Arlo and Ezra are pretty popular so I’d avoid those. How about

Thank you everyone maybe I didnt mean uncommon then as some have been saying the names I've said are popular now.. I mean like different not heard of names if use get me thank you to use all who have gave some good names ive got a bit more of a list now 😇x

@atthebottomofthehill well they were to me they are different from common names for instance, Jamie, John, kyle, Ryan, Matthew, boys names like that. (:

To be honest, though, those names aren’t particularly common now. I don’t know any child or teen called any of them.

@MummaLeonax well they were to me they are different from common names for instance, Jamie, John, kyle, Ryan, Matthew, boys names like that. (:

Other than John, those are names that were popular over 20 years ago.

If you want to be totally unique

Give it another 20 years or so and they might sound 'fresh'

Keirdan (Keer-dahn)
Cerrigan (Ker-ig-ahn)
Ettram/Ettran (Et-tram / Et-tran)
Enoch (Ee-nock)
Kezkal/Keskal (Kez-khal / Kess-khal)
Kaidan/Kairan (Ky-dahn / Ky-rahn)
Jameson (Jay-meh-sun)
Carrew (Karr-roo)
Erasmus (Eh-rahz-moos or Eh-rahz-muss)
Phineas (Finn-ee-ahs)

Is Enoch useable at this stage? I don't think I would.

@Goodoccasionallypoor , darkgreener says it's been used quite a few times each year

Interesting. It's a nice name but I assumed it was too distinctive to lose negative associations for a while yet. I suppose it has been almost 100 years!
