How about a nice Aboriginal name? I liked Banjora, but DP didn't like any of the boy names I found
I know a boy of every name you mentioned except Paxon and Espen, but only one of each
Hmm- I looked for Aboriginal names last time but don't seem to have any, will have to look. I met a Banjo the other day so I think that would be out for me. Thanks for mentioning you know an Otto- I think it's getting popular-ish too. I know a few Otis' are around but I do know of one Otto (a friends son's friend) so I guess that's out.
I like Zephyr- but I have a friend whose son's name abbreiviates to Zep and I'm trying to work out if I can do it. I also LOVE Zeke but our surname starts with KE so it doesn't work.
I know an Ari and I like Dash but I worry about copying celeb names... though my girl's name is a celeb name now too.
Torren's nice I've known of one a few years ago.
I think the 'danger' for us in a lot of the less known names was that they can sound a bit too soft. I mean even for girl names! I like a hard consonant somewhere
I know an Arlo, too.
I think part of the issue, as well, is getting over the fact that someone else may have that name. I loved DS's name and it was for reasons other than hardly anyone had it. But I did know of one or two boys in our area with it and decided I didn't care because I loved the meaning, its origin and one of the namesakes
I don't know if I can completely let the popularity thing go though. If I did then I would name this child Felix- no question. So maybe I need to look into that more. It's currently in the top 300, maybe it wont move more?? And that is why Otto is still on my list, as having heard of one is hardly reason to say it's TOO popular. I guess I've never gelled with my son's name and a part of me would feel bad to give another son a really popular name while he's got this "weird" name. My issues there.
I love pheonix My friends little boy is Levi Pheonix
I heard the name Tahi about 5 years ago. Its a Maori name that means one, or number one. I love it.
SIL is Maori & some of the names I've heard are beautiful. Maybe you could look them up?
I was going to say Rigby instead of Digby. But either's cute.
Sullivan
Arrow
Lennox
Ezra(too similar to Espen? Not sure..)
Bruno (only Sacha Baron Cohen has guaranteed its popularity won't be growing)
Jarvis
Rocco
Neo
Zed
Jericho (I am posting this everywhere until someone uses it!)
I don't think Milo is too bad, popularity wise. I have only met one in my 10 years in the industry.
In other news, I rocked out at a wild party with a guy called Espen the weekend that this little groover within was created!
I love hearing of people meeting Espen's! Glad he was good party company
Actually, I think the only Milo I know of is another friend of my same friend's son. He knows an Otis, Milo and Otto but I haven't actually met anyone with those names myself yet. I met a Sullivan for the first time today! I like Jarvis and Zed (actually I think Zed is already on my list). Jericho is cool actually- shortened to Jeri is simple too. Whay aren't you using it?
