BOYS NAMES, UNUSUAL BOY NAMES

Boys names, unusual boy names, baby boy names, popular boys names, comprehensive listing of favourite British, Irish, American, biblical and medieval boy names you won't find anywhere else.

Choosing a name for your baby boy can be fun and can also cause a few minor disagreements. It is not unusual for an expectant mother and father to disagree of their choice of name for their new born baby boy.

You may want to choose an old family name but from which side of the family? You may want a name that is unusual but remember; your baby boy will not be a baby forever and will have to go through school bearing a name that may expose them to ridicule and possibly bullying. Then as an adult they may find the boys name you choose embarrassing or have to constantly spell it or correct people on the pronunciation.

You also need to take into account the initials you choose for your baby boy in conjunction with your surname as well as shortened forms. For example;

Andrew Pratt becomes A Pratt
Michael Hunt becomes Mike Hunt (say it quickly)
Simon Herbert (Sherbet)
Richard Head (Dick head)
Benjamin Dover (Bend over)
Douglas Grave (Dug Graves)
Hugh Jass (huge arse)

You can laugh but these are real boys names and many parents have caused untold grief and hilarity at the expense of their little boy because they didn't thoroughly think the whole name choosing process through. Your baby boy might be unique to you but give some thought to the name you choose before putting your boys name on his birth certificate.

We have compiled a comprehensive list of boys names, many of which you will not find on any internet site or in any baby name books because our researchers have delved back into medieval records in order to find them.
