Unique Boy Names

Hey All! We found out I'm having a boy! We want a stylish /different name but nothing wacky or that can be found on a "Popular Name List." Any cute ones out there?

Try the name board. Those ladies are amazing.

@MaxsMom9‌, Dexter would have been DD's name if she were a boy. I can't tell you how many times people mentioned naming my baby after a serial killer
We still like it. It's still a contender if this ones a boy

One fun (time sucking way) to look at names is going to the Social Security website, and you can search names by state, year, and sex

I love the SSA baby name index. We try not to do anything in the top 100 from the previous year, although DD2 was number 76 or something.

Lol, my youngest was one of 3 in our state with his name in his birth year. I was honestly surprised there were that many!

I agree with the others who have mentioned the SSA website. DH and I want an “old fashioned” name so that website is a great source to see what the top baby names have been since 1880.

Just a caution, the ladies on the baby name board prefer very traditional names and have very little tolerance for unique/unusual names. They are a fabulous resource, though.

Thank you everyone so much!!!

Ya, I actually found them quite rude on the baby name page... Especially because you are looking for something unique they will bash it. They also all suggest the same 20 names over and over again..

There is though, an app I downloaded called "baby names"... It's AMAZING! Names from all cultures, and they also list how popular the name is, which is really helpful. You can save your favorites as well! Good luck

My husband and I come up with a trait we would like our son or daughter to have and look that word in different languages. My sons name means "to produce or to carry"(as in to carry on a trait) in German. People either hate it or love it! We lean toward loving it!

We are going with August Brooks Lastname or Maddox Brooks Lastname.

My SIL wants to use Maddox but they're not trying yet and no guarantee it will even be a boy. She told me to go ahead and use it but they both love it and I feel weird using it now that I know.

The name Nolan is nice, and unique. Just trying to think of unique names.

I vote August! Love it...not that you asked for my opinion.

Malcolm was on our list last time, but I was the only one in either H's family or mine who liked it.  

I like August as well, and also Lincoln.
