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 considered this as I love the name Monty but then thought that might be more suited to a dog 🐶

Rex and Sonny

Atticus…. if it had gone better with our surname I would have loved that as my favourite book (and film) is To Kill a Mockingbird

Gabriel

Magnus

I did go for the other name I wanted though which was Owen

Atlas

For some reason I love it. 😂

Balthazar
Azazel
Laszlo

must have a thing for a Z!

love Leopold like a previous poster but already have a a Leonard

I wanted Ziggy too!

Same. I love that one but he said in France it would be a very old man name.

Epona
Zelda
Magnus
Roscoe

Not that out there but they were a strong no from my dh

Crikey. I think I'm winning friends with weird baby names bingo over here.

Can't believe no-one has picked Balonz...

@yogasaurus and @Hembria we used Magnus last year and have only ever had compliments on it (to our faces 😬)!

I love Magnus! ❤️ it is a great name

It’s amazing! I wish I’d been brave enough

Eden, Sunny, Asa,

I love Mungo

Hard veto from OH 🤣🤣

What is the mumsnet thing with Balonz?

Hector’s are stubborn from the 3 I know😂 my son is Eachann which is gaelic for Hector

Cassius!

LOVE Peregrine.

Also love Zeb but couldn't quite bring myself to go for the full Zebedee.

Also like Moth short for Timothy.

(Note: my son has a not-hugely-common but not out-there name)

Ooh or Taliesin. But I'm not Welsh, nor do I live in Wales, and I already have a child with an unusual Welsh name, so...

Balthazar, Idris, Lucien, Rufus.

I have a Cassius which I've seen mentioned on here.
I dont think it's particularly "out there" now but I did have a wobble for a few months after he was born and I was embarrassed to tell people his name.
Thankfully he's grown into it 😅
