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.

Maximus .
Dane .
Rox .
Toben .
Reed .
Bren .

Malachie- common on my round-
W/C mixed race families
and the
Poshos and middle class lot too
and the evangelicals /JHW’s

Malachy (Mal) is also a common enough Irish name - he was 1st Archbishop of Armagh in 1100’s.

Brent

I adore the name.

Melchior, Lysander or Steadfast

Quintus
Grumio (est in culina)

Angel
Cosmo
A poster mentioned indigo, that’s a great name too.

Children of the Corn!! 🙈😱😱😱

I have a Caspian! I'm so glad you like it. It suits him!

Quentin

Kaspar

Lysander

Stoker

4 of the names we used have been mentioned already.

I liked Arkady, we have a Eastern European surname so it would have worked fine.

We went for Inigo as a middle name because we weren’t quite brave enough

Nathaniel, Hugo, casper, Caspian, Tristan , Sebastian, Florian are very common around here. What on earth are “normal” names if these are not????

Hunter
lucien
jasper
Tate

Steadfast is exactly the sort of name I came into this thread to see - it's fantastic!

Names vary by area though. Names that are common in some parts of the UK can be relatively rare in others. Those aren’t names that I hear much in my area for example other than the occasional Hugo.

I also love Darwin!

quentin
sterling
caspian
cosmo
everest
merlin
apollo
ambrose
finch
evander

I would have named my son Wilbur, but my husband wouldn't let me haha. I also liked Benedict, Edgar and Edmund.

Raoul, Geoffrey, Norbert.

Agamemnon
Hercules

I considered these names but had a girl. Considered them as middle names.

Also Basil.

and Florian

Godfrey

Tarquin

I loved Jabez so used it as my boy's middle name- he hates it! Love a strong old fashioned name. Ebeneezer!

@Ghostofborleyrectory , how do you say Jabez? Is it Jab-ez , Jay-bez or something else?
