Re: Very unique boys names you love?
It depends on what you mean by "unique." The top three names on our boys' list are: Santiago, Orlando and Rodrigo.
I also really like Jago, a Cornish form of James, but we would be unlikely to use it since my family would pronounce it Ha-go. More Cornish names here:

My favorite!
Not everyone's style, but here are some I LOVE:
Cassius
Crusoe
Bodhi
Cannon (DH's fav, but i'm not sold)
Caanan
Orion
Rex (1 syllable, I know, but I love it!)
Evander
Apollo
Penn (another 1 syll, but thought I'd sneak it in there)
Gulliver
Solomon
River
Easton
Maverick
Unique means very different things to different people, but...
The most "out there" name that I can't help but love is Utah. I can't imagine that I'd ever use it, but a girl can dream. I suppose it's my guilty pleasure name.
More usable, but still fairly uncommon:
Amos, Angus, Felix, Josiah, Magnus, Phineas, Reuben, Rocco
Desmond
Sullivan
Lachlan
Ambrose, Atticus, Mateo
My guilty pleasure is Chaz because of a cutie skater boy named Chaz Ortiz
Agreed... depends on your definition of unique.
My fav: Linus
Others: Atticus, Milo, Wallace
I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.
Sullivan is one of my faves! Someone mentioned Cassius and I like that. I also like some historic names such as: Ulysses, Winston, Cormac, Augustus, Amadeus, Walter, Quincy, Rutherford, Chester, Theodore, Fitzgerald, Lyndon, Jefferson...
And I like some literary names: Montague, Lysander, Lennox, Dante...

Ambrose, Abram, Campbell, Silas, Cannon, Callum, Lachlan, Merrick, Sebastian, Beckett, Casper, Eamon, Gerik, Keaton, Lathan, Palmer, Sterling, Remy, Matteo, Dante, Seamus, Warren, Hugo
I have lots more that are one-syllable... Too bad
Cian, Cael and Calix (I have a thing for C names apparently)
guilty pleasure name is True, not Trueman or Truett... just True...
Kellen
Channing
Ashton
Asher
Emery
Baylor
Meso (pronounced May-so)
Leofric is my favorite at the moment.
I also really like Ferdinand.
Always liked these but would never use them....
Magnus
Hugo
Boston
Here are a few of my faves that my husband has already vetoed: Vaughn and Connell.
I'm thinking about Neil and Chad for a future boy. Neither one is anywhere close to the top 500 names, so I think I'm safe.
eta - sorry, most of these are one syllable. I didn't realize that was a requirement.
