Not my baby boy...
because i don't have one. but my friend is due in October. she's having a boy and she's taking name suggestions. Her first son has a less common name and she's favoring some very strong and still less "mainstream" names like Dax or Rhett.
so, i got to thinking about it and came up with a few that i like...just for fun.
again, a little less common names, i think. not your average 'Joe' or 'Colton' or 'Logan'.
Ace is Anglo Saxon for One who excels,Noble
Felix is Latin for Prosperous
Zeke is Aramaic for Shooting Star*
Cameron is Scottish for With a Crooked Nose **
Gage is Old French for A Pledge
Isaac is Hebrew for Laughter**
Jake (from Jacob) is Hebrew for Conqueror
Luke is Latin for Luminous (say that 5 times fast)
Maddox is Celtic for Beneficent
Nash is Old English for Protruding Cliff
[although, this is right up there with Jett]
Pierce is Old Anglo French (who knew?) for Rock or Stone
[so, he kind of gets his Rocky....?]
Quinn is Irish for The Wise
Simon is Hebrew for He who has Heard
and last but certainly not least,
though i'm not even sure i like it, is
Otto which is Teutonic for Prosperous
Now, you get to vote or offer up your favorite names...
* This is my personal favorite!
**These are names i like to think would have been considered had we had a boy.

Seth was supposed to be a Luke. I like that one. :-)
Just stopped by to see how you are and say, "Hi." Hope all is well.
I really like the name Quinn. I like the way you have to formulate your mouth to say it. :)
Zeke is nice and strong, though it brings to mind Amish farmers for me!! LOL!!! But it definitely covers the not common aspect.
Last year in Canada (I'm assuming Canada, maybe it was all of North America), Jake was the number one most popular name for boys ~ Emily was for girls ~ but I still really like it too.
Aside from you list, I'm big on the names Jordan and Jason, but they are quite popular, so that brings them down on the competition line...
