I’m trying to choose a name that isn’t too ordinary because I don’t want my kid to be one of the many. So these are our top picks for boys, and i’d like to know if you find them ordinary in a bad (boring) way. And also, if you could add how many people with the name you know? I wish my list were a little shorter, i’m sorry!
[name_m]Brody[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Diego[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Zane[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Thiago[/name_m], [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_u]Channing[/name_u]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] strikes me as very ordinary, as does [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]. [name_u]Channing[/name_u] makes me thing only of the actor. [name_u]Owen[/name_u] lacks character; I prefer [name_m]Eoin[/name_m].
My favorites off of your list are [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m].
My nephew’s name is [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], but everyone calls him [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. I love the name & it could be a neat option for you, too.
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_m]Brody[/name_m] feel common. [name_u]Owen[/name_u] too. [name_u]Channing[/name_u] and [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] are too celeb-y/trendy for my tastes. I think your best bets are [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] (so cool) or [name_m]Diego[/name_m] (similar but tamer/more common). [name_m]Zane[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are runners up. I have a good friend named [name_m]Diego[/name_m] and it has always seemed so stylish and unique on him.
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]- I know one little boy with the name. He’s almost 2. Also a radio show host in my area.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]- I don’t know anyone with this name. nms.
[name_m]Diego[/name_m]- I know one man with this name. He’s in his 50s. Not a fan of the name.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]- I have known several [name_m]Leo[/name_m]'s over the years (they’d be about 30 now)
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]- Oddly, I don’t know any but like the name.
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]- I knew one years ago. He’s probably about 30.
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]- I don’t know anyone with that name.
[name_m]Thiago[/name_m]- the parrot in [name_m]Aladdin[/name_m].
[name_m]Kellan[/name_m]- Lutz.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u]- [name_u]Tatum[/name_u]. Makes me think of male strippers.
My favorites from the list are [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], but I those names might be more common than my personal experience would lead me to believe. [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Brody[/name_m] would be runners up.
I’m really not a fan of [name_m]Kellan[/name_m] and [name_u]Channing[/name_u] just because of the celebrity associations. Not a fan of [name_m]Diego[/name_m] or [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] either.
