Unique baby boy names

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.

Using surnames as first names

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!
