Boy name suggestions needed

Boy Names
#1

I found this to be quite a challenge so I’m turning to NB for some much needed suggestions. I am in need of some help with a boy’s name. Since he will have a very short, one-syllable last name, I’m looking for a first name that is long. I’m looking for a name that is not only long but easy to spell AND it has to be unique, one that he won’t likely to encounter a second person having the same name. I’ve found that the “unique” and “easy to spell” requirements are posing quite a challenge. If it is unique, people will struggle with the spelling and vice versa, if it is easy to spell then it is unlikely to be unique.

Perhaps there are common words that anyone can identify with and know how to spell immediately and can be used as names but just haven’t been widely used?

I’ve found quite a few long, sophisticated names on NB from my search but none of them are both very unique and very easy to spell(unless you’re a naming wiz).

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I’m not sure how unique you’re talking, but I’ll suggest some 3-4 syllable names that I rarely or never hear in real life.

[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]-is this hard to spell? It seems normal to me, but I’m a name nerd.

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]/Bash

[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]/[name_m]Barney[/name_m]/[name_m]Barnes[/name_m]

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]/[name_m]Cas[/name_m]/Caspi

[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]-this could be complicated. I like the nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u].

[name_m]Julius[/name_m]/[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

[name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m]/[name_m]Nemo[/name_m]

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]/[name_m]Pip[/name_m]/[name_m]Penn[/name_m]-this could be hard to say/spell. Maybe not though.

[name_m]Percival[/name_m]/[name_u]Percy[/name_u]/[name_m]Pip[/name_m]

[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]/[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]/[name_m]Thad[/name_m]/[name_m]Tad[/name_m]/[name_m]Thatch[/name_m]/Thax/[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]-so many nn options!

[name_m]Zacceus[/name_m]/[name_m]Zac[/name_m]/[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]/[name_u]Zooey[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] were my first thoughts!

#6

My favourite longer and unique boy name is [name_m]Rudyard[/name_m]. [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] for short.

To be honest, you never know how to spell popular names anymore either. There are so many spellings now, even my brother goes to school with a “Mykeul” (pronounced as [name_u]Michael[/name_u]). I live for odd & unique boy names. Here are some of my favourite:

Anronikos/Andronicus
Krystiyan
