Share your UNCOMMON boys names

ashleyvc1 · November 2008

Our last name starts with a W and kinda sounds like Whig.

TheBrowns · November 2008

My DS is Brecken. Is that uncommon?

robbie3982 · November 2008

We're currently set on Maximus. My friend just named her baby Colton.

kimmiedu · November 2008

I dont think it is that common but would sound good with your last name Walter

cjseeger · November 2008

My DH really likes the name Thatcher and I really like Mathias.

meridout · November 2008

I'm lobbying DH to let me use Linus, if we have a boy.

I'm a big Peanuts fan Smile

emaria · November 2008

harper

BearkatLou · November 2008

Weber. That's right.... Weber Ralph IV. It's a family name.

shellbug79 · November 2008

Right now we set on Oliver, I'm not sure if that's common or uncommon. We also liked Copper, Miles, Wyatt, Noah, Jacob, Nathaniel.

Michelle

If it's a boy, we're going with Marvin. It's not really uncommon, but rather "old". But, he'll be Marvin the 4th. We plan to call him Vin. Our last name is Weido (pronounced weed-o)

Chrisy-Wyobride · November 2008

We've gone through the gammet on boy's names now...those we've considered for the past 2 pregnancies were Eammon, Garrison, Errol, Blake, Gareth, Gannon, Nolan, Murphy & Harrison. For this pregnancy our top contenders are Everette & Grant. I also really like the name Thaddeus (Thad) & Simon. I tend to like Old Fashioned uncommon names...Hopefully we'll find one this time we both love...which hasn't happened yet.

war_eagle · November 2008

I have Nolan, Jax, Cal, Leo, Spencer, Sawyer, and Jude all on our list.

Bluesmoothee · November 2008

Harper is a girl's name. FYI.

Uncommon boy names should stay uncommon. They're never a good idea.

britt2537 · November 2008

i work at a preschool and we def. hear some unique names in my class last year there was a lil boy named Iyun pronounced (Ian) this year i have Izzack pronounced (Issac) and twin girls Enley and Iley

runnergirl79 · November 2008

If we have a boy, his name will be Isaiah Jude.

runnergirl79 · November 2008

I also like the name Rhys (pronounced Reese)

HDxNxJ · November 2008

I love the name Jamesson.

robbie3982 · November 2008

So, everyone should just name their kids based off of the top ten list from social security?

liddia · November 2008

If we have a boy he will be named Owen Douglas. Neither are terribly popular right now, but still good names

I absolutely love this name!

Our boy name isn't uncommon. it's like the 2nd male name ever mentioned in the Bible, so it's quite old.

LCTL05 · November 2008

We're going with Fletcher if it's a boy. I like the strong last names as first names anyway.

babyjoy09 · November 2008

Benjamin Atticus will be the name if we have a lil guy and Celeste Sophia for a princess

hisfavorite · November 2008

If we have a boy, our frontrunner name is Talan. Not sure if that's uncommon or not.

Also like: Clayton, Nolan, or Sutton.

Brittany FreyBox · November 2008

My boy name picks:

Ezekiel

Eamon

Gideon

Finn

?

I dont think any of those are common?

Michele16 · November 2008

Ronan and Callum...not for me but I know someone who named their kids those names. Our son's name will be Philip Ralph..yuck...family name also......

heather.billy · November 2008

My DH and I are into astrology and constellations. We are considering the name Orion if we have a boy. I also thought it would be neat to show him the constellation in the sky when he gets older and let him know where his name came from! I'm just afraid people will start calling him "Ryan" (which I don't want) and think his name is spelled O'Ryan... I'm curious what others think and welcome feedback! Thanks, ladies!

jazzhandsgirl · November 2008

Easton? I love that name!

I love this idea!! i think it's great! i wish my dh and I were really into something aside from sports. I don't want to name our kids after an athlete. very creative! what are you going to do for a girl?

I am a teacher and taught a male Harper last year. It can go both ways.

I LOVE THIS IDEA!! very creative! my dh and I aren't into astrology, so this wouldn't make sense for us-but how cute! what are you going to do if you have a little girl?

christana08 · November 2008

we're doing Carver James for a boy (middle is DH's middle)

jess478 · November 2008

Those are definitely unique. I also work at a preschool and have seen some different ones too, but my favorite were brothers named J and Ohn. Yes, the older brother's name is just the letter J and their fathers name was.... JOHN.

WaitingForMyMiracle · November 2008

Heather.Billy - I love that idea. I wanted to name my kid Sirius so bad (brightest star, aka Harry Potter character) and my DH just flat said "absolutely, positively, over my dead body, NO." Sad

I'm a sucker for Maximus and Thaddeus. But right now DH and I are only agreeing on common names... hmph

strange!

DH and I both like the name Cyrus, but we are naming this one Preston if it's a boy.

heather.billy · November 2008

Not sure about the girl's name yet. The female greek or astrological names aren't jumping out at us as much, some are just plain weird and I wouldn't want to put my child through that ;>) We may have to take a different angle if we are having a girl...we are hoping for a boy, though, but won't know for sure for another month or so!

A boy at my school's name is Orion and although not my personal taste, the kids aren't confused at all, and everyone calls him Orion. I think if you like it you should go for it. Many people have to correct name spellings all the time. GL!

korndog99 · November 2008

My last name also starts with a W. It's something like Wa****s....lol. Anyways, my boy name is Carter and I love the way it sounds with my last name. I also wanted a unique name and neither my DH or I know anyone with that name. Good luck, I know finding names that both you guys like is hard.

masonmom12 · November 2008

My cousin named her son Orion. I didn't like it at first, but that's his name..now he looks like an Orion... if that makes any sense. I know some people have pronounced it 'or e un' and others mistake it for Ryan, but that could happen with any name.
