Throw Some Weird Ones At Me

[bluejuniper]

Recently there was a thread with this name on the girls names forum, which resulted in over 1500 suggestions. It just got me to wondering what people would suggest if this request was made for boy's names rather than girls names.

I'll start off with a handful that I can think of:
Tyrion
Zared
Axis
Draco
Riddick
Wolfe
Lorcan
Lorand
Caspian
Fitz
Chade
Merlin
Aries
Sherlock
Mars
Finnick
Hawthorn
Vallant
Rion
Tasman

So what ideas do people have for boys names? What others can you add?

There are weirder ones, but by opening my biggest babyname book at random (please blame them if any of the translations are dodgy) I found:

Like - Burr (OK, one of my faves!), Caedmon, Dragan, Elfed, Farouk, Icabod, Lundy, Rhun and for entertainment value Nennog, Scipio and Tancred.

Like not - Amyot, Harshit ('joyful' in Sanskrit), Gaylord (may have fine French origins, but it's the average 11-yr-old's biggest insult in UK!), Jaroslav, Kamper, Math (Welsh for 'treasure'), Olvidio ('forgetful one' in Spanish), Pelex, Quennel, Xylon, Yancy, Zelotes.

Marvellous!
