Quirky Boy Names

  1. Dom
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Dominic, Latin
    • Meaning:

      "belonging to the Lord"
    • Description:

      A bit slight to put directly on the birth certificate, but Dom is a pleasant nickname for a boy or a girl.
  2. Barnes
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "someone who lives or works near the barn"
    • Description:

      This is a solid surname choice for people looking for a change from Cooper, Parker and Carson. Australian parents will probably instantly associate this name with famous rock legend Jimmy Barnes, but this has an even older pedigree as a namesake - Barnes Wallis was a UK aviator and inventor, most remembered for designing the Dambuster bomb (a bomb that bounces across water to reach its target) and working on supersonic flight in the 1940s and 50s.
  3. Booth
    • Origin:

      English and Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "small dwelling place, shed"
    • Description:

      Short but not particularly sweet surname.
  4. Sealy
    • Description:

      Sealy is an uncommon masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from an English surname that referred to someone from a place called Sealey or Seeley, ultimately stemming from Old English words meaning 'lucky' or 'blessed'. Alternatively, it could relate to locations associated with seals (the animals) or be a transferred use of the Irish surname Ó Síle. As a given name, Sealy has remained exceptionally rare throughout recorded history, never entering mainstream usage. The name carries a soft, gentle sound while maintaining masculine associations. In modern contexts, some might associate it with the mattress brand, though this connection is incidental. Sealy offers a distinctive option for parents seeking an unusual name with potential historical connections.
