Need unusual uncommon names please

Boy Names
1

I am 33 weeks pregnant and absolutely stuck on boy names i dont even have a usuable top 5 currently.

Names i love but cant use for certain reasons

[name_m]Rowan[/name_m]
[name_m]Murphy[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Taliesin[/name_m]
[name_m]Mercer[/name_m]

I adore names that are unique or are older classic names that have been forgotten and sit well under the top 100.
Also love fantasy/mythology style names.

I need to stay clear of obvious god names but obscure ones or names from other myths and legends are fine and i prefer two syllables.

Please help, going out of my mind :crazy_face:

I recently went for a deep dive in the older US data. I made some topics with what I found so you may have already seen what I came up with, but I’ll link one here.
Unique vintage names from 1924

Some notes I started making from the 1880 list

On the off chance that they lead you somewhere helpful!
[name_m]Isom[/name_m] #403 from place name [name_m]Isham[/name_m] #505

[name_m]Evert[/name_m] #526

[name_m]Parley[/name_m] #640

[name_m]Orley[/name_m] #642 habitational, Devonshire place name meaning “Old [name_f]English[/name_f] ord ‘point corner of land promontory’ + lēah ‘woodland clearing’.” Ancestry.com

[name_m]Solon[/name_m] #682 Greek

[name_f]Ceylon[/name_f] #909 leonine place name

[name_m]Isam[/name_m] #909 'Isam Arabic

[name_m]Murphy[/name_m] makes me think of Brophy. Not in use as a first name so far as I know, but you could be the first!

Some others:
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] (I used to look after a little Cassian)
[name_m]Brodie[/name_m]
[name_m]Luan[/name_m]
[name_m]Elysian[/name_m]
Talisker (place name. I love it. It’s known for it’s whiskey distillery and brand so I’m not saying it is without issue!!)
[name_m]Tarka[/name_m]
[name_m]Theoden[/name_m], [name_m]Taran[/name_m], [name_m]Torben[/name_m]
[name_m]Rollo[/name_m]
Roemer, [name_m]Rohmer[/name_m]

Your username names me think of [name_m]Harlan[/name_m], [name_m]Arley[/name_m], [name_m]Arlen[/name_m], [name_m]Arledge[/name_m] and [name_m]Arlington[/name_m] :green_heart:

Good luck, I hope you find what you’re looking for :four_leaf_clover:

I just love ORDE meaning lance. I first found it in a book about [name_m]Orde[/name_m] Wingate, a BritishWW2 [name_f]British[/name_f] Officer with an extremely interesting career. If I were to name a child ut would be [name_m]Orde[/name_m] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. [name_m]Alas[/name_m] my days for naming babies are long gone.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Bramwell[/name_m] nn [name_m]Bram[/name_m] but hubby doesnt like it , i also offered up Bramley and that was a no aswell lol. I like [name_m]Torsten[/name_m] and [name_m]Thorsten[/name_m] but again i already have a son with a strong norse name and it wouldn’t work with my other sons name unfortunately.
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Jago[/name_m] but husband prefers [name_m]Django[/name_m] but neither of us keen on [name_m]Jan[/name_m] as a nn.
Also love [name_m]Dacre[/name_m] nn [name_m]Dax[/name_m], hubby said no lol.
I feel like there is no hope atm. Maybe im having a girl and it wont matter :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::laughing:

Hubby keeps suggesting [name_m]Ragnar[/name_m] , i have yet to decide how i feel on the name. I do adore nn Raggy though lol.
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Newton[/name_m] because of the wizarding world link.
I loved [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] for a middle name for my previous son i dont know about a first name though i think its so handsome but is Mags/Maggy a bit much for a nn?
[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_m]Astrophel[/name_m] :star_struck: hubby less thrilled :rofl:
[name_m]Sterling[/name_m] is quite nice , i think il need to ponder that one for a little while.
I like [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] as me and hubby both like “Sol” but hubby doesnt like [name_m]Sully[/name_m] which is what i prefer nn wise.
Others a like but cant use: [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] , [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m], Lazurus, [name_m]Romulus[/name_m] , [name_m]Icarus[/name_m] and [name_m]Pascal[/name_m].
Your recommendations are definitely more tge vibe im looking for though so thankyou.
