Unique but not weird Baby Boy names

Looking for a strong boy name that isn’t super popular/common these days. Needs to be easy to spell and pronounce but is NOT in the top 100 (preferably not the top 200 either). Must go with brother’s name [name_m]Boyd[/name_m]. And last name that starts with ‘D’ and ends with ‘-er.’ We also plan to use the middle name [name_u]Scott[/name_u].

Here are some that have made my list but I’m not sure if any are “The One.” Open to more suggestions too!

[name_u]Archer[/name_u]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] (too common?)
[name_u]Brooks[/name_u] ([name_f]My[/name_f] top pick)
[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]
[name_m]Coleman[/name_m]
[name_u]Cooper[/name_u] (too popular?)
[name_u]Duke[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_u]Hayes[/name_u] (Another top pick)
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Kade[/name_u]
[name_u]Landry[/name_u]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] (liked this name forever but it is common)
[name_u]Nolan[/name_u] (common now)
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]

Ilyas
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]

[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_u]Jory[/name_u]
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]/Robert
[name_m]Beowulf[/name_m]

One of my top names is Anson!

So:
Anson Scott

Out of your list my favorites are:

Hayes and Arden

The others are all beautiful but not inherently unique to me. But hey that could just be because I spend so much time here on nb! I can say I’ve only met a few children with the names on your list.They’re definitely trendier/off the beaten path names. So that seems to fit what you’re looking for. I think whatever you go with will work great!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Boyd[/name_m] is so cute!

Here are my thoughts on your list-

[name_u]Archer[/name_u]-I like this a lot. It has a similar boyish, charming slightly quirky old fashioned feeling as [name_m]Boyd[/name_m]. I don’t for see it hitting top ten or anything, but I do see it rising a bit in popularity. Does it sound okay w/your ‘er’ ending ln?

[name_u]Arden[/name_u]-This one is certainly unique. And I love the nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u]! But I just don’t care for the sound of [name_u]Arden[/name_u]. Also, I think it’s use more for girls.

[name_u]Beckett[/name_u]-This is okay. I mainly like it for the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] & [name_u]Kit[/name_u] would be darling. [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] & [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] sound a little cutesy, honestly.

[name_u]Brady[/name_u]-Kind of close to [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] & kind of too trendy in my opinion.

[name_m]Brody[/name_m]-This one is a little bit popular, & I just don’t care for it. Sounds very…bro-ish.

[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]-A little hard to say [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] & [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] together, but that’s not a deal breaker. Pretty cool unique cowboy-y sounding name. Rising up the popularity charts a bit.

[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]-Also hard to say w/Boyd! I don’t care for this one too much. It sounds a little trendy to me. I feel like [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] has such old fashioned charm.

[name_m]Coleman[/name_m]-Doesn’t do much for me, but it’s not bad. I do really like [name_m]Cole[/name_m].

[name_u]Cooper[/name_u]-It has been in the top 100 for quite some time, so I guess so. I’ve never actually met one? I don’t care for it, personally.

[name_u]Duke[/name_u]-Very popular dog name! Too regal for a human.

[name_u]Everett[/name_u]-This is dashing, but way getting popular.

[name_u]Finn[/name_u]-I absolutely adore this name. It’s so cute w/Boyd too. Sporty, witty, simple & just charming. 166 on the popularity charts right now. Not sure how high it will climb.

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]-This is way less common & also works really well. I just love [name_u]Finn[/name_u] slightly more, but they’re both good.

[name_u]Gray[/name_u]-[name_u]Gray[/name_u] isn’t that popular, but [name_u]Grayson[/name_u] & [name_u]Greyson[/name_u] certainly are. I like this more, but if you want to avoid popular I’d stay away from it.

[name_m]Harris[/name_m]-Oh, this is nice. Kind of unexpected. I prefer [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], but [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] & [name_m]Harris[/name_m] are nice together. Simple, boyish, classic & not popular.

[name_u]Hayes[/name_u]-Not my personal favorite, but it’s still pretty nice. Kind of gives off the same chill vibe as [name_m]Boyd[/name_m].

[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]-Handsome name. Getting a bit popular. I mainly like it for the nn [name_u]Jem[/name_u].

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]-This is really fun. Not too common, kind of quirky. Really nice w/Boyd.

[name_u]Kade[/name_u]-I really prefer [name_u]Cade[/name_u]. The ‘K’ looks off. I’d avoid this though w/all of the millions of [name_m]Caden[/name_m]/Caiden/Kaydens etc running around.

[name_u]Landry[/name_u]-I’m not a fan of the sound of this. It reminds me of laundry. Maybe used more for girls too.

[name_m]Luke[/name_m]-This is a great name & perfect w/Boyd, but it is pretty common.

[name_u]Nolan[/name_u]-I love this one. It’s on my top list too. Sort of popular, I suppose.

[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]-So glad to see this on a boy list! It’s perfect w/Boyd. Kind of soft yet sporty & chill sounding. Unfortunately, it’s way more popular for girls.

[name_u]Reid[/name_u]-Not my super favorite personally, but it’s a good solid name. Not weird, not too popular, nice w/Boyd.

[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]-This is kind of cute. I like the cowboy feel. Maybe a little bit popular for your tastes.

My initial thought is [name_u]Rocco[/name_u] [name_u]Scott[/name_u]. I think it would go super well with [name_m]Boyd[/name_m] and sounds like it just may fit well with the surname as well. So cute and spunky!

Nice list!

I would rule our names that end in ‘S’ with the middle name [name_u]Scott[/name_u] as they run into each other. I would also avoid names that end in -er as it might be a bit rhymey with your surname. [name_m]Brody[/name_m], [name_u]Reid[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Cade[/name_u] are too similar to [name_m]Boyd[/name_m]. [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Scott[/name_u] seems like too many T’s. So that narrows your list down quite a bit…

Quinn, [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] all work nicely! Although an extra syllable could be nice with [name_u]Scott[/name_u]…

Maybe:

Finley
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Harry[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Milo[/name_u]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Aden[/name_u]
[name_m]Alby[/name_m]
[name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Eli[/name_u]
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]
[name_m]Artie[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
[name_u]Harley[/name_u]
[name_m]Weston[/name_m]
