Unique modern boy names

lilweenie

I'm at a complete lost for a boys name. I want something unique and modern but can't think of anything I remotely like. I hate classic names, and names that are too popular. My husband likes Jax, but to me that name is just ok. Any suggestions?

Jax is bad. Can you list some names you like to give a better sense of your style?

Unique and baby name usually doesnt end well.

Lol Jax is about as ununique as you can get.

Modern names that aren't trending?! That is tough! But when you hear the right one, you'll know I think we'll need a better idea of what you're looking for! What are names that you do like and we can suggest similar names? Good luck!

I agree with PPs, I do not like Jax...it's trendy, it's overdone, it's not that attractive. Unfortunately most "unique" names are trendy. Almost none of these are my style but hopefully it'll help.

Please give your son a masculine ne that is spelled properly and doesn't sound douchey. Jax, Xander and Asher are all terrible.

If you dislike names that are too popular, stay far away from Jax...

I have about 6 friends that have all named their boys jax, jaxson, or some other form of Jax. It is overly popular right now. I always loved the name Jack but wouldn't even go there right now as it's just to close. A unique modern fav of mine would be Nixon.

I don't think there's anything unique about Tricky Dickey.

Problem is Op, A lot of the "modern" names are very popular. You're asking for a unicorn.

So. Suggestons that might work

Zebulun (Actually an old biblical name, but not common and Z makes it "modern")

Zephyr

Kai (actually pretty popular)

Cain (Another old name that "sounds" modern)

Garen (short form of an Armenian name)

I still hate all the names you guys are suggesting, this is way harder than I thought...

What DO you like?

I mean, I get not being decisive about a name, and being picky, but lord girl, do you like anything?

JAX is a name for a pitbull.

Nash
Hudson
Kingston
Jett
Jace
Kash

I don't really like any of the names I've suggested but they all kind of go in the " JAX" category in my opinion.

Could you list a few names that you do like? It'll help guide suggestions!

Asa
Atticus
Alistair
Griffin
Harlow
Hayden
Ephram
Costas
Beau/Bo
Thatcher
Augustus/August
Aeson
Rowen
Quincy

Bowen, Boden, Miles, Parker, Colt, Tanner, Zane, Lennox, Coen, Ryder, Asher, Gage, Camden, Archer, Maverick, Apollo, Barret....all what I would consider modern, none too popular in my opinion. Many of these are from my list of boy names.

Grasping at strings here..

Some great suggestions in here. My sons name is Kai and I've heard people say it's unique and modern (although it's my grandfathers name so for me it's not a modern name)
We are having another boy and thinking Joel.

Haha. You're so right. Jax is the name of my pitbull. He's 6 years old so we named him before half of America jumped on the Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson bandwagon. Haha. I love his name (because he is a dog) but would definitley not name my child Jax.

Here's a picture since I'm sure everyone wants to see what a real Jaxon nn Jax looks like...
