Boys' names that no one will forget

Here's a list of boys' names- but not just any names! These names are all unique- whether it be the spelling, sound, or place it came from. Many are East European, others are original.
  1. Asa
    • Origin:

      Hebrew; Japanese
    • Meaning:

      "healer; born in the morning"
    • Description:

      A short but strong biblical name with multicultural appeal, Asa is enjoying new visibility thanks to hot young actor Asa Butterfield of Hugo fame.
  2. Abran
    • Adon
      • Dominik
        • Origin:

          Variation of Dominic
        • Description:

          The K makes this slightly more modern than its more traditional original
      • Gethyn
        • Greggor
          • Hans
            • Origin:

              German, Dutch, and Scandinavian, diminutive of Johannes
            • Description:

              Though familiar to all via such childhood icons as Hans Brinker, Hans(el) and Gretel, and Hans Christian Andersen, few Americans have chosen this name for their sons because of its intractably Old Country image.
          • Joss
            • Origin:

              English diminutive of Jocelin
            • Meaning:

              "the merry one"
            • Description:

              Joss hadn't been heard much in this country before the emergence of Joss (born Joseph) Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, et al; it would make a catchy middle name choice. Female British singer Joss Stone was born Jocelyn.
          • Jons
            • Jorenn
              • Jorik
                • Ky
                  • Luka
                    • Origin:

                      Spelling variation of Luca
                    • Description:

                      Luka is one of the coolest names in recent years, following suit of its cousin Luca which is now a Top 50 name. Luka is on its way up the charts and may crack the Top 100 in the very near future. Luka has a lot going for it — it is following the tails of Lucas and Luke which have been enjoying significant popularity for years. It also boasts the very current "-ah" ending sound that feels fresher than ever for boy names, from Noah to Ezra to Judah. The "k" in the middle gives an extra edge as well.
                  • Mattaius
                    • Oberon
                      • Origin:

                        Variation of Auberon
                      • Meaning:

                        "noble, bearlike"
                      • Description:

                        The Shakespearean character Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream is King of the Fairies, but the name, with its strong 'O' beginning, projects a far more virile image than that.
                    • Oren
                      • Origin:

                        Hebrew
