Really stuck for a boys name. I want something unusual (but not a made up name if that makes any sense). Any suggestions? X

We liked River but we're having a girl so boys names are redundant for us. We also liked Ripley. We struggled to agree on boys names but have loads of girl's names to choose from. xx

I loved the name Dorian but wasn't let,
likewise Sebastian.

My son is called Sasha.... I also like Bruno.

I liked Edison but dh didn't. We had a girl in the end so none of it mattered!

I LOVE Sasha (and would prefer to spell it Sachs despite being English!) but dh would never have it... Ever. Well, I suppose I did marry him, should have guessed he would want to be very safe on names cos he is pretty risk averse. Oh well!

That should have been Sacha, of course!

The two most unusual suggestions I've had so far have been Thorkell (an old family name apparently -well back in the days of the vikings!) suggested by fil and Embleton (my maiden name) suggested by gran-in-law which apparently would be a great boys name.

The children at nursery have suggested Flowers if it's a girl and Snips if it's a boy! Am I having a crab??

I love Magnus & Kaspar but it could just be my love of European drama speaking!

I really wanted either Edison or Darwin for a boy but DP vetoed both - luckily we had a girl.

DS would have been Sacha if I'd had my way!

Jenny chuckling at Snips! My little cousin suggested Salty as a name a few weeks back... Unusual I guess! Grin

I have a 24 year old Jack...it was a very unusual name when we chose it! I know boys who are called...Raffi...Huxley...Mac...Dion...Indy...Stanley has become very popular here...also Buddy...Beau and felix...Oh I loved this stage...I got my Girls name though even tho DH originally vetoed it...He missed her birth...in lift...and when he eventually got there, I just burst into tears...I want to call her xxxxx...he just stood there shell shocked and said OK...

my DH is Brogan and his brother is Lorcan, dead cool :)

It's not on my list but in doing our family tree I discovered my great grandad was called Thurlow, it's an old English name.

RaspberryBeret34 · 20/11/2014 22:31

I have a Lincoln :). Also know a rafferty. I like Flynn, Reuben and Nate. LOVE brogan and lorcan.
