HELP!! Baby boy names!

[Elle20244]

Hello All!

I need help desperately. I am pregnant with baby no.3. We don't know what we are having. We have our girls name picked out, that is no problem. We are in desperate need of a boys name that we both love.

We already have 2 children, a boy named Frederick who goes by Fred and our little girl Evelina.

Some names we love but are not sure on to give an idea of our 'style'-
Ziggy
Osmond/Ozzy
Elwood/ Woody
Rudy
Sonny

It really needs to be unique, I love Fred's name but there is 4 in his class so we opted for a more unusual choice in Evelina and so far haven't come across another.

I feel like I have been through every baby list, forum, youtube videos and book going and nothing seems to fit. Please help!

Ernest
Gideon
Franklin
Sebastian
Augustine
Abraham
Garrett
Raymond

Also came to suggest Raymond/Ray! And I love PP suggestions of Monty and Wilbur.

Personally, I’m not keen on Ziggy as a standalone name, and it seems quite different from your other children’s names (not that that matters really). But I am v much warming to the idea of it as a shortening for Sigmund…

How about Barnaby, Sidney, Hector?

What about Cedric

I like previous suggestion of Gideon
Other ideas:
Nestor
Valerian
Thierry
Caspian
Gustav
Lucius
I suggest some dated names... many of those are on some old timey gentlemen, but are unusual among babies
Gerald - you can opt for Welsh Geralt
Gareth
Peter
Gregory
Jeremy
or some of more unusual European ones that maybe seem feminine - Sylvan, Lucian, Florian

Ahhh congrats OP!
love your name taste and majority are on my list too.
a few more suggestions:
Austin - Ozzy
Oslo- Ozzy
Rhodes
Wilfred
Atticus
Sullivan
Jasper

Ziggy - Ezekiel nn Zeke
Osmond/Ozzy - Oswin nn Ozzy
Elwood/ Woody - not sure I'd want to be called either of those
Rudy - ok
Sonny - seems like a nickname. He won't be a little boy forever.

*It really needs to be unique, I love Fred's name but there is 4 in his class so we opted for a more unusual choice in Evelina and so far haven't come across another.

Neither seem unusual. Lots of Freddies and Evies.

How about
Rufus
Quentin
Magnus
Darius

Ziggy is cute & tbh in 20 years when he’s joining the world of work, there will be very few ‘Stephen’s’ And lots of Bodhi/Ziggys so times definitely are changing. A few suggestions:

Otto
Hudson
Atlas
Bodhi
Raffa

name your baby what you want x

My baby boy is an Ozzy. I would imagine it divides people but I don't care, I love it!

I also really like Rudy.

There are all sorts of names out there these days so go with what you love.

How about Koby? A great, underused name imo.

Frederick, Evelina and….

Rufus
Reginald (Rex)
Vincent
Austin
Spencer
Victor
Cassius
Redvers
roland
orson
leopold
leonard

I want a unique option because I hate how many Fred’s there are, that’s the point I was making!

my daughter isn’t Evie and never has been. Just Evelina

I think you need a name that is both traditional but underused. I think it would be odd to have a Freddie and a Ziggy.

Conrad
Rudolph
Bertram
Caspar
Vincent

What about Montague if you don’t like Montgomery?

Taren/ Ren
Torin
Rex
Jago
Quinn
Dashiell

You'll only get a unique name if you make one up. Your list is not made up of unique names.

my daughter isn’t Evie and never has been. Just Evelina Not yet.

Your existing children have lovely names.

I don't like any of these other than Sonny.

Ziggy
Osmond/Ozzy
Elwood/ Woody
Rudy
Sonny

A couple I used to know before they emigrated to Australia wanted wacky names but they settled on their son being Obi as the dad was a Star Wars fan and the name as a stand alone name suited the boy.

They wanted Elvis for their next baby but she was a girl so they called her Elvi which also suits her and she's a pretty girl.

I think it's more common in Australia to have unusual names so perhaps get some ideas by looking at name lists from
Australia.

Definitely nothing wrong with Ziggy! Weird how triggered the previous poster was by that.

What about:
Dexter
Axel
Fergus
Wilbur
Sidney

She'll never be an Evie, on the odd occasion it does get shortened she is Lina but even that is rare.

That's really helpful, thank you!

I find it bizarre how triggered people get with others choices🤣 I asked for suggestions not opinions on the names I said we won't be using but like😂

Thank you! That's helpful!xx

I never said my list was made up of unique, I asked for suggestions of unique names. Clearly have some issues understanding🤣

But if you want unique, you need to make one up.

That really isn't true, there's lot of unique names that aren't made up.

People often say 'unique name' to mean not very popular.

It's obvious that is what is wanted in this post, not a made up word.

Honestly, how can that be true? Can you give an example?
