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

[weeducky]

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

Love that. I think he’d start to call himself/people would naturally start to call him Wolf as he got older.

I love the look of this, but how do you pronounce it?

Wolf, River, August, Beau, Bohdi

Most of these names are not ‘out there’ at all lol

You know that's a ridiculous name though, don't you??

You don't think Messiah and Zephyr are 'out there'?

And I think i even saw Kentigern upthread. I mean, really.
That sounds like a village in the Cotswolds.

My sil wanted to name a potential son Buddy. My brother said 'absolutely not'

D'Artagnan.

He is the patron saint of Glasgow (alternative name for St Mungo). There are quite a few churches and schools called St Kentigern's.

This is the crux of the issue with most of these 'out there' names, they either work for a cute baby but would be daft for a grown up man or vice versa.

We found a boys name so much harder to agree on in comparison to a girls name. You either chose a name and there will be six others in the class with the same name or it sounds pretty bonkers. Whereas there seem to be much more choice for girls.

Mine aren't out there but would be for us (unfortunately, as I love them!)

Lysander
Emrys
Felix
Atticus

Love all four and would use if we had a boy but think dh would veto!

Zephyr and Buddy are not ‘out there’ names. If anything they are gaining popularity

I knew a German Wolf, short for Wolfgang. No one batted an eyelid.

It’s a very bogstandard German middle-aged name.
