Unusual (but not too wacky) boys names wanted.

[MrsJoeMcIntyre]

My cousin is having her second boy in June, and is trying to come up with a name. She is veto-ing everything I come up with.

Any gems?

I'm not sure, she's trying to think of something to put her dh off the name Freddie, which he is adamant about.

Marlon is not bad? Maybe not "the glob"

When she says unusual, does she know what is Usual?? (cos Theo is in the top something I'm sure)

"steve" pretty unusual amongst new babies. Mo is interesting.

Skyler?

Theo would be quite unusual around here .
How do I know if a name is 'wacky'? I like Freddie (Alfred or Frederick, personally).

? Otis, Tristan, Orville, Elliot, Stuart, Raymond, Edgar, Todd, Paul, Nigel, Simon, Arthur, Archie (Archibald), Martin, Ashton.

Common 30+ years ago, but virtually unheard of nowadays: Ian, Keith, Craig, Darren, John, Mark, Trevor.

Zadok.

Curiously underused
