Boy names - unusual but not OTT

[Mousse1990]

Looking for some more potential boys' names that are unusual but not out there.

The current list for names includes:

Zephyr
Oakley
Phoenix
Jax
Marley

Any ideas welcome? 😊

Felix
Hugo
Jasper
Herbie
Tristan
Bertie

Merlin

Jackson

Tiago

Otis

Maverick

Not as crazy as some, but my son is Ellis and I've only heard of other boys with the same name a few times since he's been born.

I like Zephyr and Phoenix, but feel whole list is kind of trendy and too modern sounding.

other ideas:
Remy
August
Toby
Ansel
Hart

Can you imagine working in an office, or seeing a mechanic, or having an every day conversation, with a man called Zephyr or Pheonix? When he's middle aged, balding and a few stone over weight?

Better than a baby called Brian or Bob but each to their own...

my honest opinions

Zephyr - trying too hard to be trendy
Oakley - ok
Phoenix - again trying too hard
Jax - ok. Perhaps go with something like Jackson and shorten to give DC a choice when they are an adult.
Marley - and me… dogs name

some suggestions I think are unique but not too much so
Asher
Archer
Caspian
Kai
Lennon
Felix (sounds like Phoenix)
Leo
Ezra
Arlo
Levi

Zephyr - trying too hard to be trendy
Oakley - sunglasses brand
Phoenix - again trying too hard
Jax - Jackson is better. Jacksy/Jaxi as a nn?
Marley - and me… dogs name
I don't like any of them.

Brian and Bob are much better

I'm not actually looking for opinions, just other name suggestions on a similar line to those I've listed.

Great names, and win win, they will be trendy for newborns in about five years time, but you can almost guarantee that there won’t be another one in the school year group! It’s all about keeping ahead of the trend.

Wilson
Amos
Otis
Ashton
Micah
Otto
Silas
Cornelius
Rafferty
Heath
Drake
Tobias

Hector?

Peter will be their middle name after my dad. I'm not specifically about a trendy name, but I don't want a first name that anyone I personally know/know of/once knew has/had as names always attach to specific people in my mind 😊

We've got a Jax and a Phoenix (female) in our small rural school. Also a Bob but no Brian's!

I love Marley. Similar names I like,

Cooper
Fletcher
Flynn
Archer
Darwin

Names I considered were:

Archer
Tristan
Rowan
Nathaniel (Nate)
Nicholas (Cole)
Drew

Just remember that names are much more diverse these days and people are much more likely to deviate from standard names. On the plus side, it's means a more unusual name won't be considered 'out there'. On the other hand, it means you can never rule out the two in one class thing.
