Need suggestions for an uncommon first name

Boy Names
1

We’re expecting a boy in [name]April[/name] and haven’t made much progress with a first name. Our daughter’s name is Aia, and so we’re looking for another uncommon name, but we’d like something with a meaning, not too trendy, and easy to pronounce. So far we like [name]Matteo[/name], [name]Hardy[/name] and [name]Julius[/name] but none of those feel like the right name. Middle name will be [name]Michael[/name]. Thanks!

[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Oberon[/name]
[name]Vaughn[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]

[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Blaise[/name]
[name]Fox[/name]

[name]Rohan[/name]
[name]Cassian[/name]
[name]Lucius[/name]

Great ideas! I’ll run them past hubby, I suggested [name]Vaughan[/name] already but he works with a [name]Vaughan[/name], and can’t get past the association :frowning: With [name]Julius[/name] we were worried about the “[name]Orange[/name] [name]Julius[/name]” chain association…not sure if that’s valid though? We’ll have to chat further. Boys’ names seem much harder than girls!

I’m glad you like them :slight_smile: I don’t think [name]Orange[/name] [name]Julius[/name] would be a big issue. [name]Julius[/name] is an ancient name with a lot more associated with it than that.

And I agree. I had a harder time solidifying my boys names than the girls. If you need more suggestions I’ll be happy to give them.
