please give me your opinion on these unusual names

[harlok]

I am struggling to find a boys name that is the "one". I like unique names but also names that will grow with them, quite a difficult combo. I like the sound of Brakkai and Indio but would like to test them out before I actually name the baby. Any comments welcome.

Hi

If you liked Bracken what about Breccon? Don't know if anyone has suggested apparently he was a saint?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Brannock was also a Celtic (iirc) saint.

Barbidoux

[Astrophe]

I love the name Elmo...never met anyone called it. There was a Saint Elmo, so its not just for puppets.

[EachPeachPearMum]

Getorf... Brannock is a little too close to 'prannock'....

[FairLadyRantALot]

Thurston...well...if you live in Leicester...not agood idea...am sure there is a part of Leicester that is called somehting like that....certainly sounds like a part of town, ratehr than a name, lol!

How about Brannon...I know 1 little Brannon...and think it is a cool name

Other unusual names I can think of now:
Tariq
Pavel
Pasha
Sasha ( I prefer it as a boys name)
Roman
Jesse
Jonah
Noah ( my personal absolute favourite, but realise it is not that unusual)
Marvin
Mirco
Kaden
Christian

Are you thinking of Thurnby Lodge, FairLady?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Each Peach - what's a Prannock? Is it something like a pillock?

[FairLadyRantALot]

no, lol...it might be Thurmaston...but thurston still sounds like a placename

[FairLadyRantALot]

there is a village called Thurston in Suffolk... just googled

[cyteen]

Oh yeah, forgot about Thurmaston...oh well, as long as he's not called Ratby it can't be too bad

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Thurston sounds like a real ale to me.

[cyteen]

Another plus!

[FairLadyRantALot]

or wigston

hehe, we hvae been pondering, if for whatever weird and wonderful reason we had called any of our sons Corby or even Corben (a name I actually did like) how weird that would have been....as we now live in Corby...

[outnumberedbymyboys]

Great site Surfermum. I used this for both my sons names. Worth considering names that are phonetic and people will not pronounce incorrectly on a daily basis for the rest of their lives!

[FairLadyRantALot]

outnumbered...we worked on the phonetic rule...especially as I am german, and becase our boys names are phonetic names they tend to work in both languages, and are pronounced the same, whihc we found important...
however, Sven does sometimes get called Seven or Swen (so, like Swan but with an e instead of an a ), Yannic seems to be unproblematic enough and Flynn, too

[Fimbo]

I know an Odin.
