1/2 syllable rare or underused Baby Boy names!

[Marian220]

Hello!

I am looking for baby boy names that are 1 or 2 syllables. I would like names that are rare, uncommon or underused! They don’t have to be completely unheard of though.

I really like Emil, Orson and Rue but I can’t use those. I like Evren, Holland and Soren too. Quite like German / Scandi /French names.

would be great to have a nice meaning too.

any ideas? I feel a bit stuck with boys names, I had a few girl ones but we are definitely having a boy 💙

thank you for any suggestions!

We wanted the same, something uncommon but not too out there so we called our little boy Cooper

Silas

Abel
Oswin
Nairn
Arden

It would be like naming a girl Kali

Another vote for not Odin. It’s not a nice name for a child. I met one the other week and it felt very odd, I don’t like the thought of a kid being the god of war and death..

These are all lovely!

Yeah he’s pretty famous..

I like Blake, Jude and Ellis. Also Hayden but never seems too popular on here

Sorley
Magnus
Aengus
Lory
Galo

Kolja

You can’t call your kid Odin!

Stellan? It’s a male Scandinavian name.

How is Erik with a K pronounced differently from Eric with a C?

We had a lovely family relation called Cyril. Tall and handsome in his youth, elegant in old age, very unusual name these days- but hard to think of anyone under 90 with this name.
