Unusual Baby Boy Names {rare and unique boy names that aren’t overused}

Having a baby is life changing (and scary!) There are so many things to think about, decisions to make and cute baby things to buy.

One of the more fun decisions, though, is choosing a cute name for your baby boy! (or girl if you don’t know yet –here’s a list of over 300 unique girl names! )

My husband and I fought tooth and nail over every single name for our kids (we have 3 now.) But the one we had the most trouble with was our son. Why is it so darned hard to find a boy name you both love? Hopefully this list can help you with choosing the perfect name for your future baby boy.
