Looking for UNIQUE names

[emma9216]

I’m looking for ideas for a unique boys name that is outside of the top 1000 or a unique Biblical name (not [name]Noah[/name], [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Judah[/name], etc.). Some names that I like but aren’t the “one” are:

[name]Elihu[/name]
[name]Caedmon[/name]
[name]Breccan[/name]
[name]Cohen[/name]
[name]Bodhi[/name]
[name]Matthias[/name]
[name]Zebadiah[/name]
[name]Zedekiah[/name]
[name]Obadiah[/name]
[name]Deacon[/name]
Ryerson

I’m not looking for opinions on these names, I just thought it might give a better idea of what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance!!

I really love [name]Breccan[/name] on that list, but I actually know 2 (a boy and girl) and have met [name]Matthias[/name], [name]Obadiah[/name], and [name]Zedekiah[/name]

Maybe you’d like one of these (not in the top 1000):

[name]Edison[/name]
[name]Ulysses[/name]
[name]Theo[/name]
[name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Bishop[/name]
[name]Truman[/name]
[name]Channing[/name]
[name]Colter[/name]
[name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name]
[name]Finnian[/name]
[name]Bowen[/name]
[name]Magnus[/name]
[name]Zev[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Eleazar[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Algernon[/name]
[name]Merrick[/name]
[name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Roan[/name]
[name]Cassius[/name]
[name]Reuben[/name]
[name]Jarrett[/name]
[name]Amos[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Jericho[/name]
[name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Tobin[/name]
[name]Darion[/name]
[name]Torin[/name]
[name]Zephaniah[/name]

As I’m not [name]Christian[/name], I tend to suggest biblical names that others say has bad connotations so I’ll leave the majority of the biblical names for others to suggest

What about [name]Zebedee[/name]?

[enjc]

Our kiddos have biblical names, and we had talked about [name]Zechariah[/name] ( maybe nn . [name]Zeke[/name]?) because it was somewhat familiar sounding and not used in our area (although I think it is in the 700’s on the list). Another one is a bit more traditional is [name]Abraham[/name] (I really like the nn [name]Abe[/name]) but it is definitely more popular (around 200). [name]Erastus[/name] is another suggestion and I don’t think it has ever been in the top 1000.

[name]Eben[/name] or [name]Esai[/name]?

My favourite Biblical Z’s are [name]Zebulon[/name] and [name]Zacharias[/name]/[name]Zacarias[/name]. [name]Zev[/name]/Ze’ev is cool too, it means “wolf.”

My sister likes Zadkiel but that’s not Biblical, it’s sort of Bible-adjacent. (And the name of an angel in folklore)

E’s, I like [name]Eli[/name] (not [name]Elijah[/name]), [name]Ezra[/name], Elchanan and Elhanan best.

[name]Hanan[/name] itself is another Biblical name almost no one uses. It is the male equivalent of [name]Hannah[/name], “graciousness” (Elchanan/Elhanan being “graciousness of G-d”) but whereas [name]Hannah[/name] lives in the Top 50 almost no one uses [name]Hanan[/name] despite its current, two-syllable, ends in -an sound.

Some of my favorite Bible names:

[name]Azariah[/name]
Amasiah
Amaziah
[name]Azriel[/name]
Hananiah
[name]Mishael[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Asher[/name](too popular though)
Azaliah - some say it is a girl name but it is a male in the Bible. My favorite meaning “God has reserved” These other names have great meanings too. Good luck!

I don’t think anyone has suggested Jairus yet or [name]Jethro[/name] (nn [name]Jet[/name]?)
I also love [name]Phineas[/name]

[system]

My grandfather was supposed to be [name]Ulysses[/name], but because they did not know how to spell it ended up being Ulious. Totally unique! As far as “I” know there is only one other and he is my cousin.

[dolliedagger]

Biblical names I love and haven’t heard used much are,
[name]Japheth[/name]
[name]Zephaniah[/name]
Shadrach
[name]Meshach[/name]
Abednego!
I like [name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Eli[/name] but they seem to be on the upswing in terms of popularity. [name]Ezekiel[/name] is cool too.

Growing up in the Penecostal faith, I’ve heard my share of strange Bible names, but the top few are:
[name]Zion[/name]
Malachai
Matthais
[name]Cain[/name] (not an unusual name, but considering its origin)
[name]Moses[/name] (why in God’s name would you pin this on a baby??)
