Conservative but out there boy name?!

[HiddenInCubeOfCheese]

So, I’m having a boy. Names-wise, I.Did.Not.Prepare.For.This.

For a girl, I would have punted Céline, Margot, Audrey, Vivienne (Vivi), Anaïs, Genevieve, Bridget etc to DH.

My own name is rare but not a weird name, so I’ve always liked that - people have heard of it, but don’t necessarily know someone else with it.

I’d like a name that was strong, a bit zhuzh-y with a sprinkle of eccentric but also fine for a CEO to be called! Does it exist?

This is our first. We have a double-barrelled aggregate four syllable surname, but I’d pick a vanilla-ish middle name so the whole name wasn’t totally nuts.

Glad to see that some of the potential boys names I had are cropping up in here 😇

Feel like this kid really has to be a looker to pull some of them off 😉

My daughter knew a lad called Justus.

Is Raphael considerably poncy/solidly middle class room for a pony vibe?

I love the boys name Ivo (pronounced eye-vo).

Isambard or Ichabod

You forgot Johnson, Balfour, Churchill, Thatcher 🤮, Major, Truss🤮🤮, Sunak and Disraeli 😜

Oh, yes, to Isambard. What a name! I always wanted an Amadeus. Wolfgang is great as well.

A pp said old German names. I think that's a good idea. Plus Scandinavian and Russian.

Soren

Love Sasha for a boy but realise it's from Alexander.

Has anyone actually suggested Boris? Ha ha but fits the brief.

You're seeing things that aren't there.

@fuckislessoffensivethanpardon , I didn't think those were suitable as first names. Although some could be considered 'out there', it would not be in the right way.
