I need help! Rare/unique boy names

Hello everyone,
I’m 24 weeks pregnant and I haven’t decided on a name for my baby boy yet! I like unique and rare names but I’m also scared to go too far! I’m Italian and my boyfriend is german, the baby last name will be [name_m]Wagner[/name_m]. Here’s my list:

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] (my favourite but maybe too unique?)
Lupo (it means wolf in Italian, it’s very rare)
Tobia
Étienne
Basil/Basile
[name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
[name_u]Milo[/name_u]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] (but my boyfriend pronounces it in such a weird way because of his german R, and it ends up sounding like Alo!)
I’d like to know what you think, also have fun to put two names together (we’re gonna give him two names!).
Thank you so much,
[name_f]Federica[/name_f]

What about [name_m]Flavio[/name_m] or [name_u]Carmine[/name_u]?

I like [name_u]Basil[/name_u], [name_u]Milo[/name_u], [name_m]Orlando[/name_m], and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]!

[name_u]Basil[/name_u] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]Basil[/name_u]

Great options! I particularly like [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], Étienne and [name_u]Milo[/name_u]. If you like Lupo, maybe you’d like [name_m]Ludo[/name_m] too?

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] Tobia
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
Étienne Lupo

I really like all of this names and I don’t think any of this names is „too“ unique.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are →

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] Lupo - this is just the cutest name!
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]Basil[/name_u] - i really like the sound of both names together.
Tobia Étienne - i think the shorter Tobia with the bit longer Étienne just harmonies extremely good together.

(Sorry for my [name_f]English[/name_f], it’s not my first language.)

I love [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]!

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] Lupo
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] Étienne
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
[name_u]Basil[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodor[/name_m] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodor[/name_m] Étienne

I love [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_m]Orlando[/name_m], [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] and [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]!

[name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Etienne[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] [name_m]Basile[/name_m]!

Lupo [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] sounds amazing! I really like Lupo. Its short but bold. I also like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] but if pronunciation is a problem…. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is another similar feeling name for me.

I think all of the names on your list are lovely! Here are some others to consider:

[name_m]Aldo[/name_m] - So similar to [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], but less common (at least in the U.S.), and could be easier for your boyfriend to pronounce! :slight_smile:
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Beno[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Beno[/name_m]
[name_m]Boden[/name_m]
[name_m]Rivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_u]Axel[/name_u]

[name_m]Aldo[/name_m] seems like a great compromise with [name_m]German[/name_m] and Italian roots :blush:

I love Étienne, [name_u]Milo[/name_u], [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] and [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]! Tobia, Lupo and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] are cool too, very unique and spunky. I also like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] but it doesn’t sound usable considering your husband’s accent.

How about:

[name_u]Milo[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
Étienne Lupo
[name_m]Theodor[/name_m] [name_u]Milo[/name_u]
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m] Tobia
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m]
Lupo Étienne
Tobia [name_m]Basile[/name_m]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite from your list is [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] but I think the other names are good options as well. I like these combinations: [name_u]Basil[/name_u] [name_m]Theodor[/name_m], Lupo Tobia, [name_u]Milo[/name_u] Étienne.

I love all of your names so much, and honestly don’t think I could pick one in your position. [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Wagner[/name_m] would make such a pretty name, and [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] Étienne [name_m]Wagner[/name_m] is elegant. But then there’s [name_u]Milo[/name_u] and [name_m]Basile[/name_m], which are also perfect.

[name_u]Indiana[/name_u], Illian, [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Loki[/name_u], [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], Lumir
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_u]Edison[/name_u], [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u], [name_u]Banner[/name_u]
[name_m]Theseus[/name_m], [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
Mico
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m]
[name_m]Arturo[/name_m]

[name_m]Theodor[/name_m] [name_u]Milo[/name_u]
[name_u]Milo[/name_u] Lupo
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_u]Basil[/name_u]

I love [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]! I don’t think it’s too unique! Lupo is the only one I hadn’t heard of (based in [name_u]New[/name_u] Zealand) but i quite like it!
[name_f]My[/name_f] second pick would be [name_u]Milo[/name_u].

You might like my sons name - [name_u]Marlo[/name_u] :slight_smile:
