Unusual boys names

[kate.m.]

Ive just finished looking at a name thread & its got me thinking about the names ive chosen. I'd like my children to have names that are a little unusual, nothing crazy or silly, just something that you dont really hear that often, and that they will stand a good chance of being the only person they know with that name (I quite liked being the only Kate- i knew plenty of Katies/Kathryns that called themselves Kate, but im the only 1 i know with that as my entire name) and i want my kids to have the same kinda thing too.

Ive managed to pick out a girl's name that i love! But im stuck for a boy's name! Boys names either seem to be very traditional, or very... chavvy (for want of a better word!)! I was wondering if any of u ladies have any ideas for an unusual boy's name, that isnt heard a lot, but also isnt chavvy? But not too weird?

The girl's name that i like is "Darla"
Boys names that i quite like are Logan and Ethan... but i dont loooove these names like i do the girl's name!! Also a little worried that Logan will become very popular, because of the xmen films!!!

I know a few good boy's names that are unusual but not too crazy: my friend named her son Everett. My son is Liam but that is not too uncommon. If we have another boy we are going to name him Atticus Connor (Kelly) which is a bit chevvy for you I guess LOL maybe not. If I think of more, I will add them

I really like Stevie for a girl, as in Stevie Nicks - OH would never allow it, but I still love it!

Boys wise, I like a lot of welsh names (OH is from welsh borders, so quite common where he's from, but not particularly common in yorkshire!) my favs are:

Banadel - which means holy hill, there was a medieval King with this name.
Maxen - which is a form of Magnus (meaning great)

All are lovely names, darla is great for a girl. Logan is nice, never met any boys called that, Ethan is getting very popular now tho. I called my son Euan, Im scottish living in Canada and its not popular at all here but he either gets called Ethan or Evan, everyone thinks Euan is too weird, its going to be hard for him growing up!

Atticus is cool, not chavvy at all- it reminds me of "To kill a mockingbird", not a very chavvy book! lol! Everett's unusual, havent heard of that for a 1st name before!

Both very nice unusual names! Neither of us are Welsh, tho, so probably not for us!

I think that is the reason we ended up naming our son Brennan. It is different without being too crazy. I had never heard of it as a first name, I had seen it as a last name when I was pregnant, and loved it. It was the one name on the list that fit him.

I think names that are unusual are ogten also names associated with girls, like Ashlee/y/eigh or hilary(yeah a guy called hilary). Unusual is also I think if you take more european names but there one has to be careful not to be too exotic or you get the celeb baby name syndrome.
Tore, lars , olav, Morten would be skandinavian for example
or you could go for frisian names like Bouke, or Hauke or eike(or for that matter ike)
What about Clemens, a(l)la(i)n, Maurice?
For more scottish ness (well dunno if they are actually) Allistair(like allistair carter or cook) , Hamish, Callum..?

I have heard in series or movies of Brennan's

I love the name Ezekiel!! DF likes Balthazar! I love Celtic, and primarily Welsh, names though. For boys names like Gwydion, Osian (DF loves this one too!), Adair, Galen. REALLY don't have a clue about girls names so we're only allowed to have boys. We've already decided that we'll be naming our first son Gwydion Idris. Luckily we're not planning on leaving Wales ever!! I get most of my favourite names from books I read- Laurell K Hamilton fans will probably recognise the last couple of names from the Merry Gentry series!!

Beca :wave:

I remember that Stepbrothers came out just after B was born, than the character is named Brennan.
