Unusal but traditional Boys names

[munz]

any ideas?

I like unusual/less common - u're kai's and korbins and such (zachary as well)

DH likes ur traditionals/more common - Joesph, Jack, Joshua etc.

and we're struggaling to find a common ground. can anyone help?

we have a middle name of Paul

My middle son is called Stirling Max.

There was an Isaiah somewhere this am too.. I liked that.

Cod, you are right. Wilf is NOT good. Wilf is my insane bigoted rude mean Grandad. NO!

Not traditional but what about Jenson?

I like wilf!

But you wouldn't if you'd met my Grandad. And names are like that aren't they? Entirely coloured by people who share them.

Isn't there a rule that says what ever name you choose it will be extremely popular within three years of you choosing it?

ds1 (31) loves Stan

GhostofNatt...

May I take the opportunity to congratulate you on your excellent name ideas -

I named my son one of them

Is it a bad thing or a good thing that he will never be able to find a pencil/keyring/door name plate with his name on it???

What about:
Archie
Andrew (wanted to call ds this, but dh 'won')
Hamish
Finlay
Iain
Robert/Robbie
Alfie
Ralph
James
Charles

right - names of all the boys in the peahead family (nephews, sons etc)..
theodore (theo)
charlie
sam
freddie
miles
alexander
giles
tobias (toby)
jeremy
matthew
henry
miles

any of those? my friend has an edward who is called Ned - I like Ned. I also like Will, Tristan and Louis.
I loathe celtic names, unless you are actually bona fide irish or scots with an accent to prove it - and actually I don't like them much then either!

archie is nice as well

Listen to PPH! She chose my dd's name! And I'm very pleased with it too.

pph is there an appropriate accent to go with yournames?

Sam
Charlie
Michael (Mikey quite cute)
William
Thomas
Andrew

or John? think how exotic John will be growing up!

If I ever have a boy his name would be Elliot

There is an appropriate accent to go with PPH's names but it's not Welsh, Scottish or Irish!

Kesey
Steinbeck
Burgess
Dickon
Hardy
Kingsley

Munz, I'm defending your choice of K names. Ds is a K, and we're certainly not chavs, never met another one, and it goes with our very (long)Scottish surname.
Dh was at school with a boy called it many moons ago, and always really liked the name. It suits him very well and 'goes' with his sister's name too.

we have a k name too and i am certainly not a chav (the are you a chav test proved it ) ds1 name is Keir which is a celtic name, which apparently means dark, swarthy, its a shame ds1 is fair!

ds2 is William most definatley not bill or billy, occassionaly he is called will, but usually william (we liked Liam to keep the celtic connection but decided that was too common in the area that we live in)

v literary zippi! can you imagine shouting "Steinbeck" at your kid across the playground?

my ds has one of the peahead names, it's lovely

I know a Kai - he is the naughtiest boy I know in fact. Charming with it though.

I think it would be quite cool

Was actually looking at my stock order for new mugs based on penguin books

Avoid the J's if you want something unusual, I teach a baby group and they are all Jacob, John, Jack, Joshua etc.

never met another 2 year old called Bob...
