Unique baby boy names?

[bobbikay]

my friend is having a baby in less than 3 weeks. AAAH! lol she doesn't know what the sex is. shes hoping for a girl and she has some girl names picked out... but no boy names! she wants something unique, but not too weird. any ideas?

My ex wanted Lucien for our son or Dante along with a load of made up names from his fave sci-fi novels, all of which I've blanked out of my memory. I think it's harder to find an unusual boys name than a girls. Needless to say, he didn't get his way and our son has a nice name that isn't strange, but not overly popular either.

Oh yer Dante I like that. Unfortunately I know a bald headed prize pr1ck called Lucian

[helliebobs]

Yeah I liked Dante too 4get, but somehow it doesn't seem right on a boy brought up in the depths of Lancashire. I also liked Lucien until my ex became stuck on it and wouldn't go with anything else - and I think it sounds a bit pretentious. Looking at my litle boy now, don't think either would suit him!

My newest great nephew is called Darius & I love the name.

We recently named our boy Travis - not after the band - the only reference I know, or anyone else, we just liked it. Since then we've noticed it seems quite popular via American television, especially amongst the 'dude' fraternity! Yet to hear it over here though...

.. Travis Perkins....

There is a very good reason boys are no longer named Simon, or Kevin, Gerald.......

We had a little girl just over 2 weeks ago, but had it been a boy these are the names we had in mind:
Archie (this was our favourite)
Flynn
Finlay
Kian
Theo

Does she have a family name or similar that would fit i.e surname or a grandparents name?
My son is Milligan after the dearly loved and lost spike.

How about Tiberius, can be shortened to Ti or Ty. Still sounds good.
My son is called Jason. That isn't to common these days.

Keaton is unusual but yet manly and not too oddball I personally love Eugene

For a rare, but not unique, name what about Jorrel? (It's also spelt Jorel, Jorrel and Jorell). I know an 8-year-old with this name. His mum calls him Jo most of the time - but it's Jorrel when he's being naughty ;-)
(The name appears to be derived from the name of Superman's father, in the Marvel comics).

If your friend wants something genuinely unique, it might be worth looking at a few foreign language dictionaries. For example, Lindo is Spanish for 'handsome' or 'perfect'. Feliz is Spanish for 'happy' , 'fortunate' or 'lucky'. Vida is Spanish for 'life'. (The Italian version is Vita).

I seen this on another site. It was an American lady she called her baby : Matteo ( Muh-Tay-O) "Gift from God" I think that is lovely...

[blondie83]

I plan on calling my baby boy 'Corbin' and my little girl is gonna be called 'Roxanna Bleu''
(not that i'm pregnant tho!) lol

[bobbikay]

thanx guys :) i like that name Dante... that was actually one she was considering

I notice a lot of the names suggested here are actually surnames. American girls often have such names ('Madison' and so on).

Noah, Hanley, Bailey..........my 3 favourites.
