Finding an unusual name that isn't too odd can be a challenge, especially if you need a name for a little boy. Here are some suggestions.

Are you hoping to find a unique baby boy's name that doesn't show up on the Top 100 baby names list? If so, you're joining a growing trend. Traditionally, it's been more common to find girls with unusual names than boys, and there just always seem to be more creative names available for girls than for boys. Over the last few decades, this is changing, and baby boys with unusual names don't stand out so much.

If you're looking for an unusual baby boy name, avoid name trends. Right now the "ADEN" names are all the rage-- Aiden, Caden, Jaden, Braden, Hayden, you name it. So if you choose a name like Zayden or Rayden, you'll have an unusual name, but it will still be trendy.

If you want to avoid popular names, check the Internet for lists of the top names in your country. If you're American, look no further than the Popular Baby Names page at the Social Security Administration website. And if you choose an unusual name, you can make your child's life easier if the name is easy to pronounce and spell, and not too weird. Here are some suggestions.

In 2001, we named our son "Grayson" and since then everyone we ever meet absolutely loves his name.
