s/o: What unpopular boy names do you like?

rc1276

In my post re: Oliver, a few people said it was too popular. It's not in the top 100 at this point, so I'm wondering what boy names people like that are less popular than that. I really have a hard time coming up with anything that's not in the top 100 that I like. Just looking for more food for thought. Thanks.

Ultimately, it's up to you if you like a name. I personally know 7 Olivers that have been born in the last three years, but that could just be who I know!

 

If you like it, go for it! There are bound to be duplicate names in every kindergarten class. It's hard to guess.

All of our top would-be boy names are family names, so virtually all of them will be outside the top 100. 

If you're looking for a slightly less popular, though still venerable name, a great place to look is often within your own family tree.

Other non-Top 100 boy names I like just b/c:

Hugh, Felix, Leopold, Magnus.

I've always had a thing for the name Todd. I don't know why, but I like it! Jeremy is another I've loved for many years. I love Eric, Wesley, Peter, Calvin, Simon, Gregory, Bruce, Allen, Ian, Garrett, Brendan, George, Brett, Isaac, Isaiah and Shane.

I think you have to look around and decide if you think its too popular. Owen is very popular on here and I dont know one irl. I also like Porter, Zeke, and Carter.

All names I had on my boy's list before finding out we are having another girl. I don't think any of them are anywhere near the top 100.

Cassius, Cannon, River, Easton, Rhett, Beau, Wesley

Honestly if it has or will make it to the top hundred in the past decade, I won't even consider it

Trevor. It was in the top 100 in the late 90s but is around 150 now. Fine with me. It's uncommon around here.

Ruben, Carlyle, Harlan, Merritt, Deacon, Archer are on my "maybe" list, and all out of the top 500-ish most popular names.
