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.

Aslan

Nathaniel
Casper
Gideon

(all far too posh for me, I know my place 😂)

I had a lovely long list of names for our son but dh hated them all

Elijah
Fox
Elson
Raven
Josiah
Asa
Otis
Chester

I love Victorian names.

Bowie

Santiago
Alejandro
Rafael

Océan, after the bad girl in the bbc drama Intruder.

Leif

Dubhdara pronounced dove dara.

Sorry that a girls name...day dreaming here

Malachai

I've always liked it but there's no way we could have used it. I like how it looks written down and how it feels in my mouth to say it.
(I love 'agapanthus' for the same reason)

Roderigo - loved the name since studying Othello at school

Bjorn. - love Scandi names,

Some great names on this list.

Florian ❤️

Galeno
Santiago

Nelson

Orion
Inigo

Forrest

I think it's such a bloody lovely name.

I was bold enough to do my second, Caspar, but other half was a solid no.

I loved the name Eddie but not Edward. I suggested Edison instead but that was also a no.

Lando

I know boys with all of these names - I wouldn’t say they were bold!

Mine would be Indigo (Indy)

I love Ptolemy but I'd have felt like such a prat.

Rafferty always tickled me, and Orlando, but would never actually choose it.

Oberon
Etienne
Everett

Rudyard Kipling’d parents were bold; it’s a very distinguished name imo.

Shepherd

Iago. Bloody annoyed with Shakespeare for ruining that one.

Quilliam

Ivor or Osian

One of my children's names has been mentioned and it did get some eyebrow raises

Balthazar
