Uncommon boy name help!

Lusitano8 · March 2016

Help me with names! My DH is very picky with names, he likes them to have a meaning or significance. I'm more concerned with how they sound. We both want something that's not a top 100 popular name, so we are drawn towards more uncommon names. Our last name starts with an S and is very vowely (SP?)

Come at me with your opinions!

Enzo/Renzo
George
Rowan
Ayan (Eye-an)
Lucian/Lucias
Aleric
Cyrus

George is solid

Love Rowan

Ayan I would toss this

Lucian is alright

Aleric - suggesting Alec

Cyrus I like

lm45678 · March 2016

Love Rowan, the rest are NMS

laurenm2123 bbiutmcph Thanks for the input!

kmvisioli · March 2016

My favorites are Cyrus and Rowan. Aleric just makes me think "allergic," and Ayan would be extra vowely with your last name (plus it's a little strange to me). Lucian makes me think Lucifer, and Lucias looks like an error of Lucas and reminds me of Malfoy from Harry Potter.

Suggesting Alan, Adrian, Silas, Simon, Luca

LNic5 · March 2016

Alec

I think Enzo and Rowan are on the verge of popularity, as I have seen a lot of people inquiring about them on here.

I'm personally not a fan of Ayan. I think he will always have issues with people trying to pronounce/spell it.

What about Alaric? I think it sounds a bit better than Aleric. And I do agree with the other poster when she said Allergy/Allergic. That's all I can think of now.

momma2char · March 2016

Rowan, George or Cyrus are all great!

Other suggestions:
Harrison
Sebastian
Oren (means pine tree- nature theme like other names)
Orion
Walter
Louis
Sebastian
Atticus
Asa
Malachi
Kellan
Jasper
Tobias

I like the first 3.

SmrBrd2012 · March 2016

Rowan is my favorite and I also like Cyrus. Least fave is Ayan. Too close to Aryan for me.

Suggesting Cedric and Ronan,

holli0801 · March 2016

Love Rowan. Prefer Silas over Cryus but it's okay. Suggest Jasper, Arlo, Cedar

MWoodside · March 2016

George is super common so I am not sure how it's on your list if you guys want an uncommon name.

From your list I like: Enzo, Renzo, Lucian (love!)

Aleric makes me think of the veggie Celaric- so dislike. Ayan will just be constantly mispronounced. I like Rowan, but it's been taken over as a girl name IMO.

What about Ezra? Or Luca? Those seem to fit with your naming style.

tayloca1987 · March 2016

George is not uncommon, out of the options I like Lucian or Cyrus.

What about Avery?

KaLikeAWind · March 2016

Rowan was on my shortlist, I like it, but yes it is getting popular. I saw a little girl named Rowan the other day actually.

From your list I like Lucian and Cyrus

ellebee2 · March 2016

I like George (although getting more popular), Rowan and Cyrus from your list.

What about Ewan? (Although might be too much vowel with your vowel-y last name?)

CaboBride2015 · March 2016

I like George. Enzo is a nn to me. Ayan also made me think Aryan and that's bad.

Cyrus is probably great but it keeps making me think of "That dick Cyrus" from trailer park boys.

Enzo is great if you're talking about calling the kid "Lorenzo" and shortening it.

Rowan is ok. Ever consider Ronan? That was our second choice for a boy (that we agreed on..)

beachylex · April 2016

Love Lucian and Enzo

Mrsrundell · April 2016

I think Enzo is the best of your top choices. It was my grandpas (nick) name but think it's cute to use as a first name by itself. I've seen sooo many Rowan's lately, so warning! Lol

jillie127 · April 2016

George is the best

danielladxxx · April 2016

Enzo was at the top of our list but as a NN for Lorenzo
I prefer Luca to Lucian/Lucas

I love Rowan.

BritMC18 · April 2016

As a PP said, Rowan is definitely on the up and up. I've had 3 friends and several acquaintances/people my friends know in the last year name their baby (both boy and girls) Rowan. It's definitely trending up.

I love the name Alaric - never seen it spelled "Aleric" however.

Eko14 · April 2016

I like Rowan. I had a cat named Rowan after Mr Bean once. It is a little more popular now. I know of at least 7 under the age of 6 in my area.

vilaro · April 2016

Enzo/Renzo - Not my favorite, reminds me of Orzo (sorry, just my main go-to for that name)
George - Classic - can't go wrong with this choice
Rowan - Great name. Also like Ronan
Ayan (Eye-an) - Never heard of this name but on first impression, I don't like it
Lucian/Lucias - Lucian is great.
Aleric - Not my fave but not terrible
Cyrus - Not my style
