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!

Barry.

DH picked Zebulon and Arcturus. I had Thaddeus and Balthazar.

Oh I love Zebediah too

Swithin.
I grew up knowing one so thought it was entirely normal until I was well into my teens.

Also used to know a Hubert.

Jack or Nick surely will be unusual in the sea of Noahs, Rivers and CoCo Blus.

Knew a lovely little boy named Matrix.

Bardolph. Cadwallader.

Cornelius. Horatio.

Stryker

Serge

Dash

These are my “if I was a rock star” names

Love Horatio.

How unusual you can go without sounding ridiculous is often a bit surname dependent.
I was at school with a few people with very unusual names (they are the only ones of that name I have ever heard of let alone met). Very rare name with the surname Court sounded like a nursing home, very unusual flower name Italianate surname sounded like a botanical specimen. Very rare name Jones sounded like his parents wanted him not to be lost in a sea of Steve's and Dave's so it's about finding something that works with the surname.

Romulas
Evander
Hansel
Orian

It depends what you mean by out there.

Thespian
Rodeo
Quade
Mastitis (sorry)
Sandon
Lichen
Lucius

The recently newborn heir to the (no longer actually in existence) Bavarian throne (great - or great, great... grandson of the famous king Ludwig who built Neuschwanstein) is called

Rupprecht

which is certainly unusual even in Bavaria

Wilf. I really wanted Wilf but it was vetoed by DH for DS and then for the dog! The dog is Bramble. So what about Bram?

Oh and we had a cat called Cosmo which I think is a lovely name although couldn't name DS after the cat.
