Boy's Names

[martinedwards]

Unique?

Yes

Liveable with?

Watch out!! here comes Tragen Quade.......

 

[Redstiletto]

Sorry.

 

[ChildByGrace]

I don't know - i reckon some you can get away with and sound quite nice. And there is the fact that it's more the norm now to call your child by a none run of the mill name.

i personally prefer names that have a nice meaning to them

 

[Caliban]

Some very unique names below:

Faron
Davern

and my personal fave:

Xavien

 

[TankGirl]

When I was pregnant with my daughter, the only boy's name I would consider was Gabriel. I love it!

I also love Jonah (that's what I call my husband - confuses everyone, but our surname is Jones!), and second the Noah suggestion - another great name.

One of our church elders has 5 kids, there's a Reuben, but the youngest is Solomon (often shortened to Solly), which sounds fab too. And he's absolutely gorgeous!

And Ethan is another lovely name, as is Isaac, Nathanial & Zachariah...

Choose wisely!

 

[~*ZEE*~]

Dude, I can't possibly choose names for other people's kids! It's too personal an act.. and as such must be made solely on the whim of the choser's fancy.

It depends what exactly they're after. If one wants a name that is normal but under-used you could choose from a range of names, from Alec to Jake, Kenan to Walker, Jefferson to Lawrence - depending on the length, characters and sounds they prefer.

*throws some more names about*
Heath, Damien, Blaine, Elliot, Lukas, Quinten, Kingsley, Finlay, Malachi, Riley, Lyon, Parker, Nathaniel, Sawyer, Pierce, Xavier, Uri, Farrar, Dixon, Irving, Orson, Zander, Zane, Zave, Zechariah, Tiernan, Tobias, Hadden, Dane, Yves, Garrett, Harrison, Jude, Clark, Eli, Philip, Noel, Ramsey, Kendall, Rowan, Sebastian...

I could be here all day! The above suggestions are guys names I quite like for their strength and uncommoness, 70% of them are the one-of-a-kind names of people I know (I seem to attract oddly named persons...e.g. Rafael, Fabian, Mena are all ordinary Australian guys with eccentric sounding titles )

 

[snugglepuff]

Frederick or Nicholas....my 2 fave boy names!

 

[Tangnefedd]

My son-in-law doesn't want any Biblical names, and nothing outlandish, so their list will be quite short in the end. Their eldest son, who is two tomorrow, is called Elliot.

 

[StarryEyedPea]

i like Tyler myself

 

[Strong in Him]

My son-in-law doesn't want any Biblical names, and nothing outlandish, so their list will be quite short in the end. Their eldest son, who is two tomorrow, is called Elliot.

Elliot's a nice name. They could call the new baby George, of course, but that might be a bit cheesy. My nephew finally arrived yesterday - 10 days late. I think his name's Alexander, but mum couldn't remember what my brother told her.

 

[Tangnefedd]

They don't like George, and my nephew is called Alexander.

 

[Redstiletto]

Thor or Cason

 

[Strong in Him]

They don't like George, and my nephew is called Alexander.

I wasn't serious about George - I only said it 'cos their other son is Elliot, and George Eliot was a novelist, (although a woman!)
Alexander wasn't a suggestion either, I only said it to show off that I have a new nephew.

 

[shamrocker]

i've always liked the names keith and logan. pass on my congratulations by the way please!

 

[~*ZEE*~]

My son-in-law doesn't want any Biblical names, and nothing outlandish, so their list will be quite short in the end. Their eldest son, who is two tomorrow, is called Elliot.

hehe I shared the name Elliot as an option

If they like that kind of name - a good strong British sounding name, and want something that matches it, I would shorten my list of selectives to: Damien, Lukas/Lucas, Harrison, Jude, Dane, Jake, Philip/Phillip, Rowan, Sebastian...

and probably add *racks brains for simpler school chum's names*... Simon, Marcus, Craig, Nathan, Shaun, Leonard.. *shrugs* All the best to them, choosing and all - 'tis hard.

 

[AphraB]

What about a name like Mordecai or Gideon?

You dont see many people with those names.

The less popular Biblical names.

Funny how you never see anyone calling their kid Onan either!

 

[Tangnefedd]

My daughter likes Toby, James and Christopher, her husband is less certain!

 

[Tawny]

Rowan is nice too. My friend called her son that

 

[Tangnefedd]

I think my son-in-law would think it too feminine, and would certainly not wish to call his son after an Archbishop, he is not religious at all.

 

[ChasingADream]

My Nephew's name is Jabriel. (Pronounced "Jaybriel") That's a bit of an alternative to Gabriel I guess. We call him "Jabe".
