What boy names would you use if you were bold enough?

[TheNameNerd]

Which unusual or old fashioned boy names would you use if you were given free rein and no negative judgement was allowed? (I’ll make another thread for girls names)

I love Tycho and Darwin.

Ralph

What circles do you move in where those are "brave"?! Sebastian is only just outside the Top 100!

Elton (not after the singer, I just like the name!)
Amos
Holden
Quentin
Caius

DH vetoed Edmund.

Igor

Darwin reminds me of wildthorberrys as a child (cartoon).

Maddox would of been my choice.

Inigo
Shadrach

Enzo
Geno
Ignatius
Cornelius
Aloysius
Jarlath

Boaz

Horatio and Arcadius

Kellan

Herbert
Percy
Edwin

Merlin
Gawain
Gulliver
Briscoe
Deggory

You don’t have to be bold-your kid does.

Inigo
Nathaniel

Me too! I would have loved to call my eldest ds Jesse but dh hated it and insisted it was a girls name.

Caligula

Lysander

Isambard

Cecil.

Rex

Iarlaith (doesn’t work in England at all)
Magnus
Ferdia and Ferdinand
Corrin

Camelot, Merlin and Florian

I understand most of these, but Caspian, Sebastian and Tristan are really common here (as in several of each in year at primary school).
Florian and Magnus aren’t rare either

Many of the names mentioned are fairly normal here. We know little boys called Sebastian, Christopher, Quentin & Amos.

I quite like the suggestion of Valentin but agree that that would be potentially tricky for a boy in the UK
