Help! Inspiration for non religious boho baby boy names

Hey, found out we are expecting a little boy and I'm struggling to find a name I like. Have completed the internet 5 times over. Looking for something a bit boho, cool, dude vibe but nothing too out there! Had loads of girls names on the list but stuck for boys!

Names that have come close but are either Arabic, Hebrew (we are English, not religious and likely to have a pale ginger boy with freckles!) So lots of the names I like I'm not sure would go:
Raffie, Ziggy, River, Arlo, Reggie, Otis, Otto.

These are all close but he haven't found one we both agree on. Please send your suggestions, I'd be very grateful :)

River, Arlo and Otto are very white names from your list and would be great on a little ginger boy! Don't do Raffy, there's gazillions at the moment - it's the current 'Kevin'.

Have you looked at bird names?

I love bird names!
Jay and Robin are quite common but how about, Crow, Shag, Osprey, Dodo, Pidgeon or Finch?

Dilbertian · 27/06/2024 22:48

Quite a few of the names listed are Bible names 😆

How about a nature name, like River, Ocean, Oak or Rowan; or a Shakespearean name, like Orlando, Lysander or Ariel; or a Narnian name, like Corin, Caspian, Tarva or Tirian. (Though perhaps not Aslan. A good name, if you don't know the stories, but if you do know them...)

JimNast · 27/06/2024 22:49

Pigeon is the usual spelling. OP didn't say unique.

@DaftyLass I wouldn’t say Gerald or Jeremy are ‘boho’, they sound more like names more suitable for a fifty year old chartered accountant 🤣🤣
