Boy names you like but are too 'out there' to use

[weeducky]

What boy names do you love but are you afraid to use?

I love Darwin.

I generally love a lot of American surname type names that many people hate.

Fox

Fox is great.

Hector.

Was on our list but we weren't brave enough. He definitely isn't a Hector as it turns out anyway . It won't be on the list if we have another boy.

Felix (my favourite)!

Wolf

Apollo

I loved dexter but I wasn't brave enough to use it

Felix is well into the top 100 baby names in the UK, it's hardly out there!

Ferdinand, Leopold and Earnest. Probably lucky I had a girl

Caspian
cosmo
lysander
everest
zenith
finch
ocean
peregrine
cedar
birch
flint
onyx
elvis
oslo
stellan
wilder

I wanted Zephyr or Florian. It was a hard no from DH. Now 18yr old DS is very relieved.

Floris
Jascha (from a thread on here!)
Pippin
Constantin
Zultan
Rex
Diego
Thiago
Wilbur
Denzil
Kuba
Philo

Asher.

Napoleon

Rhidian (not Welsh)
Peregrine
Ivo
Valerian

Romeo

Victor and Winston (I actually don't think Winston is that out there but DH disagreed!).

I wanted Ezekiel.

Happily DH vetoed .... hard.

@SnapdragonToadflax oh, I'm British but don't live in the U.K... (and haven't done for a while). I thought it was quite unusual but am obviously behind the times

Obviously because I'm a bit of a twat, I'm now going off it as you say it's quite standard...

But I love the meaning and the sound of it!

I love Victor and Vincent

Lysander would be mine.

Toseland (I didn’t even bother as I could see DH’s face and I sneakily agreed it was too much)

I love Ptolemy
Idris (not Welsh or Nigerian)

As long as your surname isn't Sake
