I assume you've seen the baby name wizard? There's a book and a website, and you can search for additional names based upon names you already use or names you like.

That being said, unusual boy names that are in my family or names I've considered using:

Severin
Lucian
Graeme

My sons are Kelly and Evan - not unusual (although Kelly is unusual as a boy's name these days).

I have a nephew named Darton, which is definitely unusual, although I'm used to it now.

When I was pregnant with DD (named Owyn, like Owen with a y) I had a dream that I had a baby boy name Israel. I've been stuck on the name ever since. DH doesn't like it though.

Others I like:
Arlo
Jasper
Jonas
Silas
Mathias
Ezra

The neighbors just had a son and named him Rocket... but, only call him Rocky. Which cracks me up because he looks much more like a "Rocket" than a "Rocky".

Edited to add... his oldest cousin is named "Indian". (not kidding) He's named after a motorcycle... I thought that was just mean. He only answers to Indy though. He's nine, and he hates being named after a motorcycle.... and the motorcycle is older than he is, so he resents that his parents liked that bike THAT much.

But, some of the names I like for boys are: Desmond, Declan, Faraday, Adrian, Julian, Luca, John, Broderick, Seamus, Shea, Dorian, Simon, August, Jude
