Desperately need boy name help!

MrsAery-to-be

I posted on the baby name board but thought maybe you guys could help too! We are stuck!

We found out last week that we are having another DS! We had a list of top 5 names but nothing is feeling right. DS1 is Callen Francis. I love very uncommon names and don't really like 'old' names or popular names. I would prefer to stay out of the top 200 or so. Honestly, made up sounding names don't bother me but nothing trendy. Our list was:

Boden: DH doesn't like the NN Bo. He is also concerned that it seems like most boy names end in the 'en' sound now.

Soren: love that I have never heard this IRL. Again the ending sound tho.

Taten: same issue as above. Would use Tate as NN.

Tucker: almost too popular for me but DH likes it, doesn't love it tho.

Tate: sounds maybe a little harsh. This was at the top of the list but DH said today he isn't loving it.

Other names I like that have been vetoed: Lennox, Riordan, Theron.

Any suggestions? We are kinda starting over. Last name is pronounced air/ee. TIA!

Since u like Tate as a NN maybe tatum?

My bun in the oven would have been Soren, if she would have been a boy!

What about Broderick (poss. NN Brody), Cyan, Adam (not very popular anymore), Grey, Red. (just realized three of those are colors.... lol)

GL!

Galt. - This name jumped in my head and I can't think of any others at the moment but I think it fits some of your requirements...feel free to nix as it's probably not most people's style.

Albert, Arthur, Marshall? I do like Tucker.

Also, since you said you like older names maybe look at the Social Security Admins website. You can look at certain years and it might give you some inspiration.

Silly me, misread. Pregnancy brain. But this still works for finding unique names. Multiple years and a thousand names for each.

Trace, Case, Peydon .i know ends in the en sound but just trying to think of some of the more unique ones...
Miles, those are the only ones I can think of right now lol we're having the same problem with girls names. Nothing has jumped out to us either

I know a Soren - its swedish I believe.  I love Tate.  Not a fan of the other names.

Spencer, Knox, Tucker, Remington, Kaylor, and I like Lennox too.  Good luck.

Ha! I think we have very similar taste in names. Ds1 is Kellen Francis. Bowen is on our short list of boy names. We also considered Soren. I really like Tate were going to use Tatum for a girl last pregnancy. Other names we considered were Declan, Bauer, Nolan and Linden. I think we are going with Miller this time.

Oh we also had Rowan and Ronan in our top list.

Instead of Boden, what about Bode. Like Bode Miller, the olympic skier? We were going to name our baby Bode, but it's a girl.

Please not Boden.  I love to shop there, but it is not a good name. 

I love Tate (Tait).  Soren is kind of cool.  Not a fan of Tucker as it sounds like a hillbilly nickname.

Cade, Jonah,  Jude, Owen, Sutton, Weston, Gage, Graham?

I can't stand the name Tate- reminds me of TAINT. What about: Weston, Gideon, Archer, Arlo, Alton, Brennan, Deacon, Dane, Ewan, Miles, Felix, Duncan, Luca, Simon, Spencer, Hugh, Graham

Ryker, it's different and not super common.

I love the suggestion of Ryker, pp. That's awesome! I don't have many suggestions but I'll try.

ITA about Tate. Out of your other choices, I like Soren.

The other suggestions here are great. I especially like Miles and Archer.
