Unique baby boy names want to look and sound good.
They don't want to be too flashy, or raise any eyebrows!
Boys want to be boys - solid, strong, and just altogether masculine!
So - no frills names, but unique all the same.
Let's find some inspiration by looking at short names, long names, and surnames used for first names.
One syllable boys' names
The one syllable choice is great for boys; these names mean business. Good choices for a name that will last a lifetime:
Alf
Art
Blaine
Blake
Boyce
Brock
Clay
Cole
Cruz
Dane
Earl
Flyn
Gabe
Heath
Ike
Jett
Judd
Kip
Lars
Lloyd
Merle
Mitch
Quinn
Rolf
Ross
Scott
Sven
Thor
Zack
Zane
Longer unique baby boy names
As with longer girl names, these names for boys will undoubtedly get shortened when used by family and friends (if not by your child) at some stage; so do bear this in mind.
I've started with three syllables and up for the boys:
Absalom
Alberic
Balthazar
Barrington
Chancellor
Constantine
Demarcus
Everley
Flavian
Galloway
Glenrowan
Jamison
Kentaro
Leopold
Livingstone
Marcellus
Overton
Phineas
Stephenson
Sutherland
Willoughby
Using surnames as first names
There are some fantastic choices for boys' names among surnames. In fact, we really might have struck gold here!
For some reason, surnames have that "been there, done that" voice of experience, which resonates well with a boys' name.
And they're not names that are used so commonly for first names - so you may well be able to find a unique baby boy name among them.
To add a personal touch to your baby's name, why not look back at your family history? You may find a surname that could be ideal for your baby, and be able to link past, present and future all together in a cuddly bundle!
