A rare alternative perhaps for Boston, Paxton, Ashton, and Preston, Poston is a surname style name that is as yet undiscovered. Too similar perhaps to the phrase "post on" in an age of social media, it has appeared on social media baby announcements.
 
The name may have derived from "Boston", meaning "Botwulf's stone", or more figuratively, "stone of the improved wolf". The Poston spelling may have emerged due an error when recording it or owing to varying dialects. < 
Alternatively, it may refer to a town near a post or back gate or be an Old English place name, meaning "Possa's town" or "Possa's thorn".

Vaughn meets Charlie in this rare surname-style name, which, despite its fashionable sounds, has never made it to the US charts. Capturing that ar sound of Arlo, Marlow, and Harvey, the ley of Bailey, Finley, and Westley, and the sharp V of Levi and Oliver, it has its roots in English and Irish.
 
As an English name, it likely originated as a name for someone from Verly or Vrély in the north of France, two places that take their name from the Latin virilius meaning "manly".
 
As an Irish name, it is an Anglicization of <en>Mac Bhearshúiligh or just the given name, Berach, meaning "sharp, pointed" or more figuratively, "sharp-eyed one".

Popular in Brazil, Moacir derives from the Indigenous Tupi–Guarani language, and likely gained attention due to its use in the classic 1865 novel, Iracema by José de Alencar. The novel tells the story of a relationship between an indigenous woman and a Portuguese colonist and has been adapted several times into film, notably in 1917 and 1949 which led to an increase in its use in Brazil.
 
Adapted from the word moasy meaning "pain, regret", Moacir can mean "son of pain", which, in the novel Iracema is in reference to the difficult childbirth experienced by the titular character. While this meaning may feel off-putting to some, it could also be interpreted as the son being a reward after a struggle. 
Alternatively, it may be considered alongside Delores, Tristan, Bronagh, and Calvin: familiar names whose sounds and associations balance out their perhaps less that cheerful meanings.
 
Moacir was hugely popular in Brazil from the 1930s to the 1960s when it began to decline in use, though it still ranked in the Top 1000 in the most recent stats. Also spelled Moacyr, it has been notably borne by footballers Moacir Nascimento "Barbosa", Moacir da Silva, and Moacyr Filho, along with writer Moacyr Scliar, archbishop Moacyr José Vitti, and musician and composer Moacir Santos.

Is Rustic a word name to consider? Similar in sound to Russell, Eric, and Partick, it equally catches the nature-connected country living vibe of Forest, Fields, River, and Yarrow. It might even appeal to those who love (or live) a rustic, simple lifestyle. It may sound slightly far out there, but descriptive words are in use, with Rowdy, Wilder, Rusty, and Rocky in use.
