Reccomend some unique boy names!

Manderlin923 · August 2009

And I mean UNIQUE!

I really don't want my kids to have the same name as other kids in their class or people they know, etc.... I was one of like 10 in my senior class and I hated that.

I'm open to any suggestions no matter but they cannot end in an LAN/LON/LIN sound...

The weirder the better lol and I'm only semi joking

TIA!

I don't know if this is unique enough but we are naming ours Anderson James and (not that it matters) but everyone loves it.

I read the book Freakenomics and it had a chapter about names and it predicted names that would be popular in the future. That is how we found Anderson.

I also love -

Joah

Miles

I want my children to have names that are different also...My name is Krista and although Ive only ever known 2 people with my name I have great aunts and people I've known my entire life that STILL call me Kristen, Krystal, or Kristine....It's terribly annoying.

One of our family names is Chapin (pronounced Chape-in). I've had a lot of people respond positively about the name. We're thinking of using it for our little boy's middle name. My great grandpa was Grant Chapin and my grandpa was Elman Chapin. Good luck!
