Some of my favorites that I am not brave enough to use are- Madden, Moses, Kainon, and Zeke. Great names, but they just don't work in a small town!

Are there any particular names that your friend has in mind based on heritage or anything like that? Naming a child can be very difficult. Has your friend tried any exercised like with Alliteration? Trying names that start with the same sound as the initial sound of the last name? Like if the last name is "Smith" you could look at S and C names. I would also check Acronyms to either AVOID a horrible combo (like if the last name starts with a T you wouldn't want to name your kid Fabian Alexander.. F.A.T.) but you can also use it to make something cool or to follow a family members initials. A name can also be chosen by meaning.. if your friend wants her son to have a "noble" or "leader" name then something like Derek or Duke or Bryce would be good. Here are some boys names... Aidan Ashton Austin Avery Blaine Braeden Brandt Brighton Caiden Cameron Carson Chandler Chase Conrad Dante Dane Deacon Declan Demitri Devlin Dillon Donovan Drake Duncan Dustin Ephraim Elijah Everett Gabriel Gianni Giovanni Gunnar Hayden Heath Holden Hudson Hunter Isaac Keegan Landon Langdon Langley Lorenzo Liam Luciano Matteo Colson Oliver Orlando Owen Palmer Parker Peyton Preston River Rowan Ryland Sawyer Sebastian Sheldon Skyler Soren Spencer Talon Teague Thatcher Tristan Truman Vance Wade Wyatt Hope some of these help. Let me know what you think of them and what your friend thinks :)

Has she tried looking at tribal names? That's where I got my son's (Jabari). Pair it with a classic name so he can be unique without getting teased, lol. Something like Dylan Rayne, Xavier Jerome, Isaiah Jayvyn, Shamar, Shahar, or Romanov. Blessed Be

Fy freinds brother just had a son, they named him Mateus, it means from god, like Mathew. My cousing had a son and name him Jed, not so nuts about that one. My sister named her son Zachary, which is not too common. My brothers name is Hector, which means victorious warrior. I love the name Jack.

I hope you manage to help your friend pick a name but let her know that everyone these days is going with uncommon ones so soon there will be so many people with names like that :) You also wanna make sure the name doesn't sound stupid because kids can be cruel & you don't want a child to grow up hating his/her parents over something as silly as a name. You could try what we did & instead of naming our daughter after a state or country, we decided to name her after a relative with a very classic name that doesn't seem to be used much, so technically it's kind of unique but without being something too weird that she'll hate us for! With your friend, goodluck!

There are so many beautiful names that are rare. It's good to have a rare name, mine is Sorana, and i'm very happy with it! Since you live in an english speaking country i can suggest some, witch would sound great pronounced in an english accent, also easy to remember and pronounce: Sybrant (it means victorious warrior) Kade (knight) Rannik (ocean shore) Cion (caring) Tivon (natural) Gavran (raven) Temin (safe) Hope you like them :) I do! If you want more just tell me
