I want a "weird" name! Suggestions?

Boy Names
1

As a teacher I am soo sick of the top 100 names. It’s only added to my love of the unique, unusual, and what many refer to as “weird” but I could use a fresh perspective on some different names for boys
Names I like the style of

[name]Major[/name] ( loveee but is it too military)
[name]Ford[/name] ( like a lot but is it more old fashioned than edgy?)
[name]Knox[/name] ( my maiden name that used to be uncommon til brangelina screwed that up for me- ugh)
[name]Tennessee[/name] (lovee but live in it so that’d be too much)
Fawkes ( hubby said NO)

Pleaseeee give me new ideas!

I feel you. As once a teacher, I know you don’t want to saddle your son for decades being [name]Jacob[/name] K or [name]Joshua[/name] K. Why don’t you look at under the unusual names category lists that may spark your ideas. [name]One[/name] of my favorites is the Names No [name]Son[/name] [name]May[/name] Be Cool Enough For. From your list, I see a possibly word (military?) names or place names.

Major - I don’t hate this name. I’d probably never use it, but it’s growing on me.
Ford - Reminds me too much of the car brand.
Knox - I don’t know why, but I have no attraction to this name.
Tennessee - Not a massive fan of place names and this one definitely isn’t my favourite, also I agree with you, it would be too much since you live there.
Fawkes - I actually really like this name.

Names you may like instead:
Atticus - I am so in love with this name.
August - I think it’s cute and I love the nn [name]Gus[/name].
Avery - I’ve always associated this name with girls, but I’m really digging it for a boy!
Rupert - It’s growing on me.

Sorry for the majority ‘A’ names!
