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

Jasper? Sorry if it's already been mentioned.

My friends called one of their boys Jotham. He's a lovely lad - now 28-ish. AFAIK he never had a grief because of it.

Look at this Kai - how lovely!

read that as games.. i am a pillock!

How about Josiah - that could be shortened to Joe too.

I love the name Sonny....that any good?

(JanH, taht piscture is gorgeous)

how about Theo

My DS is Jaxon. We wanted something ou can't really mess with, it's different but not too different. (Hopefully)
I think a "Jakey" in Glasgow is a drunk BTW

Our new nephew is Sonny and my gosh have that put up with some stick from people about it
It is a fab name.

A "Jakey" in Glasgow is a tramp :D

Xander/Sander/Jasper/Zachary or how about dh's favourite Nazir?

Jago
Jonty
Jonathan
Jem
Jerome
Joss(Jocelin)
Jock
Jules/Julius

My cousin is called Alexander and he has always been Lex which I think sounds quite cool.

Ds's name is very traditional and has been mentioned on here. Trouble is, it's the only boys name we both liked so we're stuck if we have another one.

sorry lilmissy, knew it wasn't good, either way [blush}

Agree about the Js - all of ds' friends at school begin with J - Joe, Joseph, James, Jack. I'm waiting for him to come home and ask if Jehovah or Jehoshophat can come to tea.

What about some traditional names that have gone out of favour - I really like Abraham (Abie for short), Solomon etc.

Have you decided yet, Munz?

Jeremiah - trad & strong? Enzo? Gilbert (pronounced Jill..bear)

so far the only one we're agreeing with is Jake - so we're 'test driving' it! lol - refering to him as Jake - suppose it's better than beanie! it's fittin for now, but it's not set in stone.

thanks again for the help.

Does anyone like Dylan for a boy?

Raymond : I desperately wanted that for DS2 but DH wouldn't hear of it (actually, I seem to the only person in the world who likes it!).
