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? 😊

Caspian
Kaspar
Inigo
Levi

Zephyr
Oakley
Phoenix
Jax
Marley

Jax is especially abhorrent out of those names that are better suited to a Border Collie than a child.

Felix.
Connor
Sebastian
Rafe
Maxwell
Luther
Luca
Nico

Levison
Thaddeus
Dashiell

Typhoon?

As in the tropical cyclone? Let's hope he's nothing like it!

Maybe he'll keep his health and his waistline. Maybe 90 Zephyr will be the ladies man in the old people's home.

I don't see what's worse about a mechanic named Zephyr than Jack or why is recoil at a casual convo with Phoenix but not Oliver.

Maybe you need wider horizons.

Balthazar
Thaddeus
Gideon
Xavier
Atticus
Ignatius
Castiel
Ezekiel
Torbien
Cornelius
Horatio

Malachi

In our family the word Zephyr is code for a fart , as my dad used to say “a warm wind from the south”.

(Though technically it is a gentle wind from the west.)

I have a Dexter and Otis. They are both adult now and have always liked their names.

We also considered:

Hunter
Cooper
Chester
Eden
Raff
Tadhg (my favourite but I didn't want him to have a lifetime spelling his name)
Felix
Sasha
Red (one of mines middle name)

@Purpleavocado my friend has a Phoenix - he's a wonderful 18yr old at university. He has a brother Spike - 24 with a very successful career in the city after completing his degree. Their names have never given them a problem. Get over yourself.

I love that name "Spike" - so cool

Quinn
Micah
Zethan
Zavier

I've always loved Moss, Roman and Ari for a boy.

Cooper is cute, but I had a dog with that name so couldn't personally use it.

Murphy is another

Unusual names just aren’t that unusual anymore. My friend called her now four year old Arlo thinking it was very unique and it’s now pretty much top ten.

I know a Zephyr! Twin named Atlas and sister named Birdie! Also know of a Malu, Cassius, Silas, Wyatt, Heath as well as lots of more common names.

Phoenix is apparently widely used by the trans and non-binary community as it symbolises rebirth / rising from the ashes if that bothers you at all.

Lots of the ones I thought of have been posted though I may have missed

Jago
Chase
Harlan
Axel
Zekiel

I find the repetition of the same sixty odd (?) names shared by many of the boomer generation really dull and unimaginative. So am not throwing any shade in any direction at all, but it is fascinating seeing some of the names here which are not considered 'out there' !

I also have a friend with sons named Jevin, Loren and Ebi - all lovely and successful young men aged 30-24.
My nephews are Felix, Sasha, Ollie, Eli and Kavanagh.

Che [as in Cuban revolutionary)
Bear
Jude
Clay

Amos
Rex
Kit
Chas

I like
Roman
Leo
Rio
Gabriel

Huxley
Onyx
Quentin
Quinn
Cooper
Nolan

Troilus
Lysander
Duncan
Crispin
Fabio
Hercules

Troy
Trey
Leonard

We ended up steering towards european names and that meant they were slightly unusual but not crazy. Ie Sacha, Gabriel, Raphael, Nico, Luca

Hunter

Caleb

Corbin

Troy

Tobias

Please don’t call him Jax

Jules ?
