    Boys names of the less common nature

    Yesterday we found out we are expected our 3rd little boy. atm we dont have many names on the table
    ds1 is Nixon Milton
    ds2 Tyron James

    Nixon has my intials and Tyron has dh initials, so do we keep with initals of have this bub the odd one out??
    its not the be all and end all, if we find a name we love it doesnt matter the intials, but if possible we would like a N, M, T or J name.
    we prefer names less common and esp that both our boys names are not common we want it to fit.

    so far we have
    Taj (middle name maybe Nicholas so initials would be TNP dh first name and my first name initals so different but in same iykwim)
    Kyuss
    Kale

    these 3 names we both like.

    names i like but dh doesnt are
    Leroy
    Nate
    Taite
    Dexter

    FIL name is Thomas so a middle name option is always Thomas or Trent (dh)

    so what do you think of our 3 names so far?
    what other less common names do you think would suit our boy and our family?
    we have had our boys names pretty much picked from before or when we found out, i'd like to know our bubs name to help me bond with him before he is born

    Out of the names you both like I like Taj the best. How do you pronounce the second one? Kale....it's just not for me.

    My favourite of all the names you have there is Dexter. But it's not on your initial list!

    Congrats on your Third little boy x

    Taj is cool.

    One of my FAVE names is Macsen. Also Milo and Miles.

    Kale is my fave out of your top three, but tbh, doesn't 'really' do it for me. I know a couple of Taj's and that puts me off, nothing to do with the name though iykwim!

    DH loves Penfold (yes, he's a wine freak!). And DS is Bosley. What about Bae, Jed, Benson, Braydon or Jayden (would keep with the 'on' ending you have for your other boys), Huxley, Marlin?

    What about Saxon? It's a pretty cool name!
    My DS is Theo.
    Another one I liked is Oakley

    Good luck!

    I like Kale- I've never heard it before.

    Have you considered Jade? I love it as a boys name :-)

    Nickers I always look forward to your name choices.

    I was going to suggest either combining your initials or you DS' initials, but you beat me to it.

    I know a little Taj, and had never heard it before but I really like it. Kale was on our list this time too.
    How do you pronounce the second one?

    Hi Nickers, i'll be checking out this thread for boy name suggestions too!

    I like all 3 of your proposed names, haven't really heard of any of them before. Some names suggested to me (not in with your theme though) are:

    Keats
    Arki
    Kian/Kion (one of my fav which i'm trying to convince DH on)
    Kohan...

    Congrats and goodluck with the rest of your pregnancy

    Sorry, kale is a cabbage and I personally couldn't use it.

    I love Nate and Taite.

    Thanks for suggestions

    Kyuss is pronounced (kai-us) we both like the name and also like the shortening of Ky but its also a "band name" and dont like naming a child after a band iykwim. it could be spelt differently but i like the Y in it

    Kale was on our list from ds1 but just not sure it goes great with our surname (powell) i agree Kale Thomas goes well together
    Taj Nicholas is growing on me

    Zarava - Kaiden is another i like spelt Caden i shall bring this name up with dh. i have a gf with a "Kade" is that too close? i only see her 3-4 times a year
    Emma - i went to school with a boy Jade so always seen it as a boys name, but it seems like there are more and more girl Jade's its turned into a feminine name!

    Nic, I like Taj, Ky (if you shortened) and Nate. Sure you can't talk your DH round on Nate? Such a great name.

    We're having a pink one but the boy's name we had in mind was Scout. I still love it.

    I love Ky as a nickname as well which is one of the reasons we named our son Kyson I'm really picky when it comes to what nicknames a child might get.

    Good luck with it all Nickers,

    I know of a Kale but they spell it Kalle, I also like Kyan, I do like Taj Nicholas though this that sounds really nice.

    Out of your list i like Kale the best but would probably spell it Cale. If you love Ky, why not simply go with Kai, its quite nice. What about Roman? Instead of the initials suit, you could go with the names ending with "on/an" that your other 2 boys have, Roman would fit in with this.
