I have a nephew named Darton, which is definitely unusual, although I'm used to it now.
I've known two males named Ashley, one Shannon, one Kelly and one Kerry. All were my age or younger, and I have to say that I like Shannon, Kelly and Kerry as boys names. Ashley not so much.

Our boys are :

Edmund Elliott Douglas (goes by Elliott)
Oscar Simon Sebastian (goes by Oscar)

Other boy names that I like are :

Henry, Harold, Silas, Thomas, Gideon

Heyyy, my son's name is Jonas Gabrielius Jonas is actually a very common, very traditional Lithuanian variant of John and is pronounced yawnas. I was surprised to see it mentioned here

DD is Annabelle Lynne
DS1 is Aiden Alexander
DS 2 is Keagan Ryan

While I was saddened that Aiden became so popular before my son was born, I knew that would be his name anyway. Keagan is less common, but I have seen reference to it here or there.



We got names largely by looking back through the family trees.

(Of course, that also tells you where our families are from huh?)

Harrison

My son's name is Christofer Wolfgang. When I was pregnant, we were looking for something German-y and "Wolfie" stuck.

I also have a Breena Shey, a Hanah Starr, and an Aaralyn Phoenyx.

My DH's name is Thorin, after Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarfs from The Hobbit. My DD's name is Hadley, which is also used as a boys name sometimes. It was Ernest Hemingway's first wife's name. Unfortunately, since being named in 2003 the name has picked up in popularity. :-(

Our son's name is Tora.

He was named for my husband's favourite book, Shogun (Toranaga), as well as an area in New Zealand (where I'm from). It also means Tiger in Japanese as my husband loves Japanese culture.
