i'm looking for unusual names. specifically boys, since i don't seem to make girls! lol i'm thinking of having another baby, so i want to find THE name. i love names that are very uncommon. my oldest is Leiken. i LOVE his name. i want another name like that.
Not my son's names, but I love Hugo and Maximo. My current favorite girl's name is Seren, which means star in Welsh which I didn't use for either of my girls either.
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:
Mine are Van and Ian and according to my husband the next one is going to be named Ema (pronounced like Emma) if it's a girl and Axl if it's a boy. We've got a thing for 3 letter names can ya tell? LOL.
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.
names that could go with Leiken are:
Ludovic
Loic (with trema over the i, pronounced low-eek)
Yannick
