I am leaving out all of the typical names that I know most of you will think are ok.
what do you think of these more unusual names?

Roman
Yves
Orren
Ivan
Mannix
Nelson (but call him Sonny)

We have a double barreled last name, first name two syllables beginning with P, second name one syllable beginning with B.

Sonny is a lovely name for a baby or a toddler. It would be hell on earth for a shift supervisor, or a foreman. "Fred - would you move those pallets?" "Right you are, Sonny" Cue much giggling. Don't do it.

Like Roman the most, probably because I know someone with a little boy called this and it has grown on me.

Yves sounds more like a girl's name. Or reminds me of perfume.

Orren, not too bad.

Ivan, no reminds me of Ivan the Terrible

Mannix - sorry no, Isle of Man springs to mind

Nelson, just not keen.

Roman - nice
Yves - like it but only if you have French connections
Orren - not keen sorry
Ivan - OK
Mannix - don't like it sorry
Nelson - like Sonny but not Nelson
