Need the most unusual/out there boys names you can think of

[namedilemma24]

Baby due Jan 2025. Already have a girl's name picked - don't want to say what as it's too outing if anyone knows me on here, it's an unusual rarely used name but lovely and everyone we've told really likes it and we are very happy with it.

We can't agree on a boy's name at all. I already have a DS (previous partner) with quite an unusual name but still in the top 100 but my DH definitely likes more "out there" names!
Give me your favourite unique boy names for inspiration please! We've looked at thousands of names on lists and just can't find one we like for a boy whatsoever. I know we have plenty of time (and might not even have a boy) but with my son I had his name picked before I was ever even pregnant so I'm struggling not knowing!

Amadeus and Raphael were both on my list - DH does like Amadeus but prefers bloody Lazarus

That's what I'm thinking - if DH is insistent on his choice for first name then I've said we need a couple of more "normal" middle names

Troy

Kaladin or Pax

As a former teacher, let me say if you do choose an 'out there' name, your son's teachers will judge you and your son negatively before they ever meet him. And your son may attract bullying.

But otherwise it's great idea, so go right ahead! 😉

Jehoshaphat. Or similar - the Bible is full of weird names. I tried to persuade my daughter to call her son Gygax but she wouldn't 😪. (It's the surname of the guy who invented Dungeons and Dragons.)

I went to a baby group years ago. There was a boy called Berrigan.

Hmmm. Nope. I have a nearly unique name and apart from having to explain its origin have had no problems.

Jensen
Jackson
Limahl
Chè
Hunter
Frazer
Harlem

You negatively judged a child by their name before you even met them? That says far more about you than the parents who chose the name.

Octave, Linton, Granville, Aston and my favourite Augustus (Gus). Your taste seems a bit out there so what about Aslan 🤔

Gulliver,
Thesius,
Kiefer

Steele
Paris
Arlo
otto
Flyn
Kai
Jai
Odin
Thorsten
Vigo

Ed Byrne’s sons are called Cosmo and Magnus, I’ve always thought they were out there choices. I like them, but personally am a more traditional name person.

What about Leonidas or Lucretius if he likes Lazarus? I’m sorry I just don’t think Lazarus is fair …
edited to add they shorten to plain old Leo and Luc

Indigo. Indy for short.

Does your DH know the story of Lazarus? In the Bible, he was the brother of Mary and Martha who died of leprosy but was brought back to life by Jesus.
The Old Masters in art always portrayed him as a white, corpse like figure.
I couldn’t bear to saddle a child with such negative vibes.
Just my opinion, though!

Maximilian
Fitzwilliam
Ivo
Willem
Miles
Quentin
Jethro
Jonah
Lysander
Lucien
Hector
Edwin
Joel

Calidor
Ogion
Vetch
Dunadan
Aragorn
Paradin
Kirk
Uhtred
Beocca
Tormund
Tyrion
Vila

That’s what I have been cautioning too. I honestly think a zombie leper is really not a good association - even if he was “miraculous.” Have you actually discussed the association with DH op?

Was that Berocca?

Ames (A-mis)
Thaddeus (Teddy)
Taliesin
Diggory
Alban
Inigo
Soren
Leif or Leaf
Maximillian
Wolf

The god of hang over cures?

Skye? My son had a friend in his class with this name . He's 40 now and the name still suits him!

Ezekiel
Cepheus
Ursa
Salvador
Bracken
Phoenix
Fire
Lamarcus
Perseus
Lucius
