Unique, but not weird, boy name opinions

April27th2017

My husband and I are team green, but we want to have something in mind for each sex. We've already decided on Eleanor (Nora) for a girl, but boys names have been a struggle. We have a list of potentials and would love opinions on them!

Leo
Arlen (possibly nicknamed to Arlo)
Harrison
Callan
Harvey

We are leaning towards Arlen, but are worried that it might be too unique. Thoughts? Other names to consider?

Harrison and Leo aren't very unique 

Arlen is just random surnamey to me and Arlo doesn't seem like a nn for it. Arlo is great on its own.

Callan is eh

Harvey is nms but not bad


Suggesting

Warren
Oswald
Julian
Anton
Roland
Roman
Keegan
Chad
Dimitri
Vaughn
Urijah
Hugh 
Heath
Malcolm
Lachlan

Arlo definitely works on its own!

Also, have you considered Auden?

Lance
Hans
Lars
Vitaly
Alexey
Vaughn
Galen

Arlen is too old man for me. I would just do Arlo. I hear Callan/Leo a lot.

Leo and Arlo are my favourites from your list.
We have decided our boy name as it's a family name but I love so many boy names which I suppose depending where you are from might be unique? Hopefully they help..

Felix
Alfie
Parker
Fletcher
Baxter
Barnaby
Jasper
Hugo
Sonny
Otto/Otis
Byron
Duke
Monty
Rupert
Bodhi

Leo- love this name
Arlen (possibly nicknamed to Arlo)- Arlen sounds off to me, but I love Arlo on it's own.
Harrison- Very trendy, but a nice name
Callan- NMS. Sounds too much like callous. 
Harvey- I dislike Harvey. It sounds old mannish, and not in a fresh, ready for revival way. Plus, it makes me think of Lee Harvey Oswald every time I hear it. 

Argo and Leo are my top two of your choices. I love pp's suggestion of Hugo and Otto. Other names to consider: 

Miles
Ivan
Flynn
Davis
Warren
Alfie
Archer
Grant
Nolan
Walter ( A little Wally would be so cute.)
Felix

Leo and Arlo are my faves from your list. Arlo is a stand alone name, so I'd go with 'just' Arlo instead of Arlen nn Arlo.
