Outdoorsy Storybook Boy Names

[WoodlandStrider]

I'm really struggling with boys names. We want something with an outdoorsy, storybook feel, while still being recognisable as a name. I prefer classic names that are still a little uncommon, over the more contemporary names.

I really love Robin, but my husband is less keen!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you “ outdoorsy” people? Otherwise you’re plastering an unborn child with your aspirations.

Most children’s novels/stories featuring outdoor adventures have perfectly standard classic names: John and Roger from S&A come to mind. Or something from Robert Louis Stevenson or Kipling? Or any of the names in the Rougue Herries series. But they’re just standard names. Nothing “unique”

I might steer clear of Stig or Tarzan...😅

Someone mentioned Rogue Herries. There's a boy in that named Uhlan, which would turn a few heads! But also David - good classic name not much used now.

Dick(on)/Richard etc comes up a lot in classic childrens' literature - Famous Five, Secret Garden and also one of the "Ds" in the Swallows and Amazons was named Dick. I hadn't registered until now how common it is. I still like the name Richard, which was given to every fifth boy when I was a kid but has dropped out of use, and you could get away with Dickon if not Dick

Julian, of course...a nice name, though the eldest Famous Five was a pompous little prig!

Yes, I run a trail run club in my local town. We’ve also wild camped in every European country that allows it and regular go on hikes. I lead campaigns in my local area to protect the countryside. It is our lifestyle, hence the request for support in choosing a name that suits.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, they are really helpful!

There are many I love!! My Husband is the difficult one 😂 I will pass my favourites onto him.
