Unusual / Uncommon Baby names - help me create a list!

DH & I have been searching through all of the common / contempary baby names for a boy, and cannot find a single one that we like.

We would like something uncommon, but yet obvious in terms of pronunciation.

Any ideas?

My suggestions are...

Arlen
Jagger
Baxter
Xavier
Lennox
Drake

Xavier
Zander
Kayden
Axle
Brady
Blade
Colby
Jacobi
Saxon
Wade/Wayde
Coen
Ryder
Jayden
Brayden
Kobe/Kobi
Hunter

Thank you! I am lurking, waiting for Mel to get here, LOL. She is great with uncommon names.

Hmmm.. what about Aricyn? hehe..

Some of the others on our boy's list were:

Sirius
Safin
Macarien

Yorin

Declan

Tyrone

For girls I love Mehkelti and Maruschke. But, I put Maruschke out on the threads and didn't get many favourable responses.

What about Dante / Savion?

Mel I sent you a PM but your PM box is full ;).

Candice - have cleared :)

I like Dante - just reminds me of that movie though.. lol

Asher
Ari
Austin
Zane
Zade
Kade
Brinley
Layne
Saul
Silus
Pheonix
Dustin
Thorr (Tor)
River
Bryden
Andre
Hemi
Kynan
Kyan
Reife
Kye

I wish I'd have seen Hemi before! I love it & I know DH would've agreed! I think its cool! Too late to change his name now though!!

I found a link to a list of uncommon baby names if anyone else is interested.

Ooooh I LOVE Dante!!

I'm a big fan of Macarien as well!

bj - I like Jacobi!

Is Macarien pronounced Maca-rien (like the dance Maca-rena) or Ma-carien ? I like the second pronounciation!

Other girls names we like (girls are so easy!) Zardi / Zahrdi, Zandi. We quite like x / z names :).

Thanks Candice - I might need that link when I've got #3 on the way.....;)

Oh and the pronounciation is the way you like ;)

From what I remember from Mel's thread ages ago - Macarien is pronounced like Mark-air-ian..

Am I right Mel?

Aims - I think I had it spelt out like this :-
Mar-care-ree-en

cos thats how we pronounced it.

So if we have a boy that will most probably be his name (and the next one will be a boy... I know it)

That's what I meant Mel!! I went looking for the thread but I couldn't find it!

LOVE IT!

What did you have for a middle name again Mel?

hope this website is helpful

i got both my kids names from here (Meredith and Benson) and planning on getting number 3's name from here
