Favorite (unique/rare) boy's names?

Asked by zina (1661points) January 8th, 2009

Looking for names, preferably not super common or could be entirely unique, and preferably ones that DON’T include these letters: c, g, h, j, q, r, s, w, x, y and ch, sh, th (because of multiple languages spoken in the family)

That said, I would love to hear all ideas.

Xavier. Not pronounced as X-avier, but pronounced as Zavier. I’ve loved it since I was little and if I ever have a son, this will be his name. Don’t care if my husband doesn’t like it…. :D

It has an ‘r’, but yeah. Figured I’d answer since it’s not that common.

Milo (both my cat and one of my grand-nephews).

My daughter just named her daughter Ryven but she was going to name the baby that even if it was a boy.

Sopot lol (it’s an inside joke).
Actually if you don’t want those letters, you could just make up a name with the rest. If I had a son it would be Anthony (common I know, and it includes a “y” which is on your no-no list).

How about Daniel? It’s the only one I could come up with that does’t have any letters from your list. Or are you thinking of something like Meliglottos? (just made that one up and it means “honey-tongued”)

Jon…oh wait! I thought you asked for ‘awesome’ names.

zina's avatar

Love the ideas. Keep ‘em coming.

The “no-no” list isn’t all-important, it’s just for those that might have wanted a more specific question, or a little challenge. :) I’d say the most important on there are R and CH/SH/TH—deal breakers. There are LOTS of other letters. Plus if you throw out names with those, it can spur variants or related ideas.

Antoine, Pavel, Loren, Donald – This is tougher than I originally thought.

zina's avatar

oh, and some on the list so far:

Béla
Etlen
Suso
Larkin
Leo
Almon
Laurel
Nino
Elek

and yes, note the two Rs…. they keep creeping in there!

Stone, Kade, Alek, Beau

@Judi how do you prounounce that name….? W/ a long or short “I” for the “y”?

Snoopy's avatar

@zina I see that you said no “J”‘s but I offer this anyway….

Jackson, possibly shortened to Jacks or even Jax.

gailcalled's avatar

Béla I like (the name of my daughter’s dog – after Béla Fleck, the jazz banjo player).

If they are twins, I vote for Milo and Béla.

So, let’s be methodical about this:
AEIOU BDFKLMNPTVZ

How about Badefinklopuvz? ok ok jk

I’d take F out too personally. And Z, since the only reasonable name you could make with that is Zachary, which includes CH and Y.

There was a wizard called Zoltan in MM6. Is that close to what you were thinking?

Mel or Mil would be a nice syllable to use, maybe as a first one even (mel meaning “honey” as I said and “mil” meaning love). What are the various languages you use? Maybe some rootword from there? And would you like the boy’s name to mean something nice or could it also be something like “Klotzak”? (all the right letters but you don’t wanna know what it means in Dutch)

zina's avatar

Zoltan is my brother’s name.

Jack79's avatar

gail, how about milobela (white love)? :)

sounds too feminine though. Would be nice for a girl perhaps.

Vasil. Teodoru. Petrus. Nyoman. Marek. Lavrans. Kalin. Feodor. Domitian.
Bruno. Uday. Orest. Ion. Everly. Andrey.

adri027's avatar

Blaze kush.

gailcalled's avatar

@Jack79; Milo is reading over my shoulder and does not look happy with the reference to a girl’s name.

Finkel would be a good last name, however.

@susanc: Uday Finkel has a nice ring, doesn’t it?

Jack79's avatar

lol not Milo, Milo is a male name, Milobela sounds female. Btw your cat can read? Wow!

Oh and tell your nephew you named him after the cat :P

gailcalled's avatar

@Jack79: Anything we can do, Milo can do better.

It was a coincidence. Milo père was my daughter’s cat and far away when Milo fils was born five years ago. Due to some uninteresting circumstances, Milo Sr. is now my cat. Milo jr. enjoys having a cat as a relative. They are both handsome devils.

What about the good old Roman names? Flauvius, Cassius, Brutus, Pontius…

@Gail- Adam and Noah are awesome names. The first and second progenitors.
