Boys names for ME!

Phelan, pronounced FAY-lan or FEE-lan, is an appealing Irish surname name, with a rich history in Irish myth and religious and secular life. One bearer was a fiercely loyal follower of the legendary warrior Finn MacCool, another was a missionary saint.

Truly original yet not strange name ripe for the plucking by the adventurous baby namer. Aurelius works too.

Son of Zeus known for musical abilities, an edgy choice for music-minded families.

Intriguing name that's a Top 100 choice in Spain and virtually unknown outside that country. But has definitely possibilities for the adventurous baby namer.

Commonly heard in its native country, and might get a boost here too, now that Alanis Morrissette has used it for her son Ever's middle name.

Conjures up the rich brown colors of raw and burnt umber, but it may be too close to girls' Amber.

Streamline it to Marsh, Mason, or Carson.

One of the rare English surname names originally derived from a female given name: Eoforhild, meaning "boar battle". Also spelled Averill, it's an extremely rare choice today, but shares sounds with fashionable Avery.
