Different sounding names

cool unique baby boy

Certain names are unique not just by their rankings on the charts, but by the fact that they sound completely different than the popular names circulating around.

Many popular preppy boy names end in “den” (Aiden, Jayden, etc) or “ton” (Weston, Ashton). Simply making a rhyming version of a popular name may give you a name that is uncommon, but it won’t feel truly unique.

These names have a different sound and feel to them that make them distinctive.

  8. I really enjoyed the names…but the name Artemis is actually from the Greek goddess of the hunt who only hunts with women and is a virgin. She is the twin sister of the god of health and sun known as Apollo.

  11. One name I never is Jaef. This is my son’s name and I am beginning to believe he is a one of a kind name. The a is long and the e is silent.
