Ive just finished looking at a name thread & its got me thinking about the names ive chosen. I'd like my children to have names that are a little unusual, nothing crazy or silly, just something that you dont really hear that often, and that they will stand a good chance of being the only person they know with that name (I quite liked being the only Kate- i knew plenty of Katies/Kathryns that called themselves Kate, but im the only 1 i know with that as my entire name) and i want my kids to have the same kinda thing too.

Ive managed to pick out a girl's name that i love! But im stuck for a boy's name! Boys names either seem to be very traditional, or very... chavvy (for want of a better word!)! I was wondering if any of u ladies have any ideas for an unusual boy's name, that isnt heard a lot, but also isnt chavvy? But not too weird?

The girl's name that i like is "Darla"
Boys names that i quite like are Logan and Ethan... but i dont loooove these names like i do the girl's name!! Also a little worried that Logan will become very popular, because of the xmen films!!!

I know a few good boy's names that are unusual but not too crazy: my friend named her son Everett. My son is Liam but that is not too uncommon. If we have another boy we are going to name him Atticus Connor (Kelly) which is a bit chevvy for you I guess LOL maybe not. If I think of more, I will add them

hi, found ure thread intresting so thought id have a nosey

im the same i like very unusual and funky names.. my daughter i lost would of been called Storm, she would be 7 now and to this day i have never herd of another child with that name, oddly its also an x-men name but thats not how i chose it.
Logan is quite a comman name round where im from but its ure child so its ure choice.
ive picked a few names id have when i finally have a baby but there my secret hehe


a few names i also like tho are: for a boy - Emilo, Luca, Ashton, Riley
for a girl - Aliyah, Skyler, Jasmine and Esme

be nice to see what names other people like xx

good luck on choosing ure perfect little boys name

I really like Stevie for a girl, as in Stevie Nicks - OH would never allow it, but I still love it!

Boys wise, I like a lot of welsh names (OH is from welsh borders, so quite common where he's from, but not particularly common in yorkshire!) my favs are:

Banadel - which means holy hill, there was a medieval King with this name.
Maxen - which is a form of Magnus (meaning great)

All are lovely names, darla is great for a girl. Logan is nice, never met any boys called that, Ethan is getting very popular now tho. I called my son Euan, Im scottish living in Canada and its not popular at all here but he either gets called Ethan or Evan, everyone thinks Euan is too weird, its going to be hard for him growing up!

Atticus is cool, not chavvy at all- it reminds me of "To kill a mockingbird", not a very chavvy book! lol! Everett's unusual, havent heard of that for a 1st name before!

ooh- i like Riley! Sorry for your loss Storm is a very cool name!

Both very nice unusual names! Neither of us are Welsh, tho, so probably not for us!

Nah, it wont be hard- he's gonna be the cool kid with the exotic name! Im sure Canadians see Scottish as exotic? lol!
