:( found out yesterday our baby is a boy. I am having a hell of a time with boy names. I dont want anything that is common (like having two kids in a class with the same name) I grew up with the #4 most common name for that year and it really sucked.

Our last name is Blacketer (pronounced Black eh ter) Can you ladies help? any unusual boys names you have heard that would sound good with that name?
 
I dont know if you prefer 'odd' names or just general names that arent used much, so done a mixture of both, that I could think of.

Simon Blacketer
Isaac Blacketer
Arty Blacketer
Zeke Blacketer (I love the name Zeke, but my OH hated it)
Ryan Blacketer

Not loads, but I find names hard in general. Sorry, HTH. :flower:
 
Ozzie! I think it's a great name :lol:

There's someone on here with a baby called Reggie and I love that too :)

My boy name choice before we found out April was a girl, was Reuben. We had much the same 'problem' as you, not wanting a common name, but we also didn't want something completely off the wall. I think it's a nice name that has a good balance between being cute for a baby/child and mature for a grown up.

If our little one is a boy, he is being called Reuben! :thumbup:
 
hey hun.
an for you is to maybe look at names from different countries.
thats what i do when i want something different as i know alot of people round my area use very typically english names which are majorly popular.
for my twins i went with a old theme and tried to get irish names as im half irish and thought it would be nice to repsect half of my ancestry that way.
with this little bubs i decided to try and look for scottish names as when i was little i lived in scotland. with my dad being in the army at the time we moved around alot. and i thought it would be a nice way of including my past into my future.
when OH and i start thinking of another baby in a few years time im going to look at germanic names as my dad was posted to germany not long after i was born so again including my past into my future.
but its a nice way to find a really indivdual name as it may be popular else where around the world but as its not an 'american' name it might not be that popular where you are.

i really like Kasper - german varient of Casper.
Kinley is considered a girls name round where i am and so is Addison so not very good idea as a boys name.
Malachy - irish name and nn tends to be Mal
Kane
Elias
Micah
Berrin
Daxton
Destin (french) means strong bestilled enchanting water! i think thats a lovely name meaning and also now i say it with your surname it sounds nice as well Destin Blacketer.

but as i said above looking for names over the world (google is your friend :thumbup::flower:) will help you find something that is unique not too wierd but also alot more likely to be indivdual and not that common where you are. xx
 
Thank you! I just posted a poll. I will keep those names in mind too. :)
