I need a not so common boy name?

My husband and I are disagreeing on boy names right now. He loves the name jos (like the first part in JOSeph) but I think its weird. We have a son named Owen already and are looking for something not so common. Thanks!

I need a not so common boy name?
Hi I"m having the same problem I like Ryder Storm and my hubby likes Ethan otto guess he's gonna be upset when he sees the birth certificate
Reply:Yeah Jos is kind of strange... Kind of makes me think of the singer Joss Stone (a girl by the way jsut in case you wern't familiar) I like unique but not off the wall names and I love your sons name! Very cute :)

Reply:Name him Joseph, nickname him Jos.





Jos is weird as a full name, but it's a perfectly good nickname for Joseph. Joseph itself isn't too common - it was given to less than 1% (0.7805%, to be exact) of boy babies born in the US in 2007. That means that if there are 500 boys in your son's grade at school, only about 3 other boys will be named Joseph (assuming you're in the US).





In contrast, 0.3746% of boys got the name Owen. So, about 2 boys out of 500 will be Owens.





2 out of 500 (for Owen) vs 4 out of 500 (for Joseph) isn't a huge difference in popularity.





Plus, Owen and Joseph sound really good together - both have long O's.
Reply:I'm having the same prob.. we cant come up with anything that we can agree on either.. i want something not so common and he thinks they are all weird.. some of the names I really like right now are Raiden, Ryer, Brylee, Rylan, Athan, Ridge, Zaide, Teagan, Taniel, Kegan, and Zaiden just to name a few the common names seem to be all the aidens such as braiden jayden hayden ect.. even though raiden and zaiden are aiden's they aren't as common as the others its a new generation so the popular names are changing and those are what seem to be popular to me.. good luck because I'm having a hard time to.. we cant agree and I agree with you about Jos.. weird
Reply:I don't love Jos personally, it looks incomplete or rushed. Why not suggest some similar short names like Rio? Nico? Theo? Here are some more ideas:





Milo: German, "merciful" / English, "soldier"


Micah: Hebrew, "he who resembles God"


Holden: Old English, "deep valley"


August: Latin, "great/magnificent"


Harley: Old English, "hare meadow"


Soren: Latin, variant of Severus, "apart"/ Danish


Hugo: Germanic, "mine, heart or spirit"


Theo: Greek, "gift of God"


Tallon: English, "bird claw"


Haven: Old English, "safe place"


Nico: Greek, "victory of the people"


Ezra: Hebrew, "helper, salvation"


Levi: Hebrew, "Combined"


Everett: Old English, "large boar"


Tristan: Gaelic, "tumult"


Cassius: Latin, "empty, robbed"


Judas: Hebrew, "praise"


Rowen: Gaelic, "little red one"


Caspar: Persian, "treasurer"


Ellis: Hebrew, "my God is Lord"


Harper: English, "a player on the harp"


Beau: French, "handsome"


Asher: Hebrew, "fortunate"


Atticus: Latin, "from Athens"


Galen: Greek, "calm"


Grayson: English, 'gray-haired"


Rio: Italian, "river"





Hope I helped! Good luck!
Reply:How about a normal name that won't sound gay in a few years. Your child will thank you later when people have some respect for them.





And to all of you -aden people. That is not original or unique anymore. Maybe it still is in your trailer park.

On the other hand, you could go with Soda or Seven.
Reply:I was thinking that "Leo" would be a cool name... my last name starts with an "L" though... so it wouldn't work with my family... my parents almost named me "Ian"... glad they didn't name me that.... it would have rhymed with my last name... can you imagine what the kids at school would have done to me???

Hope i helped my favorite name is Duke it is one of my babies middle names and my brothers name.
Reply:A name my DH and I love to pieces, but the nickname doesn't work with our last name, so we'll never get to use it. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet.





Gabriel. And it would have been Gabriel Elias.
Reply:Why not name him Joseph or Josiah? I love Josiah! Jos does really not make a good given name. People might pronounce it with a short 'o' rather than a long 'o' - more like Jocelyn than Joseph.
