Can anyone point me in the direction of some nice names for a baby boy avoiding the usual (Adrian, Andrew, Adam, Alex etc).

There’s countless websites that will show you all categories of names.

Asa, Atticus, Alaric and Abram are my favourite less common boys names. Though I’ve met a couple of young Axel’s now and it’s growing on me.

Had a really lovely Abel in my class once.
Never been a huge fan of the name but now I like it more because of him!
