Help please
i’m in tears every day about this but he has no name. Im desperate to settle but i cannot find a name we like.

We have 100 girl names but nothing for a boy.

we do not like “traditional common” names such as Chris, Tom, Harry, Nick, Ben.

we do not like names like Otto, Otis, Arlo.

we have a little girl called Aria (was not popular when we chose it) if this little one was a girl he would have been Otillie or Delilah.

we liked Jude but I’ve now met so so many baby Jude’s I just feel lost….

we quite liked Ellis but DH thinks it’s girly sounding. Also quite liked Dylan and Quin for a while but now it sounds so…. Over used?

urgh

I really like Dylan and it isn't very popular (have never taught one in 20 years and none in my kids classes). I think it was a bit fashionable when I was about 20 (so 30 year olds now) but still not popular. Elliot is similar to Ellis but stronger sounding. Someone mentioned Magnus upthread, great name, unusual and memorable but not common. Or how about Merlin? I knew a Merlin in my youth and always thought it was interesting.

@op What have you decided?

I have no idea why this has been resurrected, but I do wonder what name op went for.
