your favourite unusual boy's name

[hairymelons]

Tell me so I can steal it please!

DS2 due oct- DH hates the ones I like (Jude, Gabriel) because he says they are girly . He likes Edward and George, which are ovely names but I think I'd like something a bit more unusual.

I also love Seamus (my family is Irish) but it sounds odd with our very English surname!

oh and I LOVE Clyde

froggie - have messaged a reply on FB, sorry for delay

Bruno

I know someone with an Arlo - think that is lovely and unusual, but not odd enough that you get beaten up at school, IYSWIM

Jasper
Felix
Hector
Aloysius

Asa
Otis
Curtis
Casper

two of these clash with our surname, the other two have been vetoed by my uber-conventional DH

Nico?

Jonah

Wolfgang (in DDs class and very, very cute)

I think Seamus is great or Shane or Sean?
I really like Aiden and Eanna p.s im a paddy too so can list a billion names if you like

Diggory

Miles

Arrius

Leopold
Atticus
Stanley
Arthur
Tobias
Somerset
Edmund
Golding
Cecil

They've all been under consideration at one point or another.

Sea-O-Ras and its a Scottish name meaning farmer - different from Seamus which is Irish I think?

and Tadgh is Irish and pn is easiest described as saying Tiger but dropping the 'er' at the end ?? means Poet I think

I like Clem (Clement). also suggested Gabriel and Willoughby to dh when ds2 was born - didn't get those past him.

(he is called Edward, which is an achievement given that dh wanted William or Thomas).

John.
Patrick.

Only one of each in ds's 421 strong school!

Rowan. My dh thinks it's girly.

Mortimer

Ooooo Fitzwilliam. As in Mr Darcy in P&P. Swoon!

Ambrose

I absolutely love it. Dh thinks it's even more girly than Rowan...

Gorgeous, isn't it??????

Orlando
Caleb

Amos - we named ds this!

Others are
Obadiah (dh says no)
Mordecai
Mortimer
Cedric
Bernard
Cosmo

If DC2 was a boy we would have used Tobias.
Also loved Gabriel and Oscar.
