Does Your Son Have an Interesting or Unusual Name?

I remember once someone asking what they thought of the name "Strummer" for a boy. Don't know if they ever ended up using it...
Congrats!!!!

My boy is Pierson, but I liked the recommendation of Gibson. There are any number of guitar heros that would also make great names - Dylan, Lennon, Hendrix, Beck, Gilmore,....
Let us know what you choose.

If I had it my way my boys would have been...Tripp and Coop...but hubby didn't like them...so we have a Korbin Shay and a Wyatt Brodie!

Coming up with names is seriously THE hardest part of having babies...

Good Luck!

~I like the suggestion of Gibson.

I don't have a boy, but I heard the name Kieran when I was younger and the name stuck with me.
I like the suggestion of Gibson (as long as you can avoid associating it to Mel Gibson!).
I was listening to the Beatles today, and Hey Jude came on. Jude would be a neat name, although 1) not two syllables and 2) Jude Law - maybe too Hollywood.
Since your husband is a musician - maybe Lennon?

I'm a little over protective about putting my kiddo's name out (there are only 6 of his name in the country, and most of them are in their 80's & 90's, so he's a little too easy to find).

That said... my son's name is Roman. Like Marcus, or Lucas, or Marcellus, but less common.

Recently, someone on this site was asking about the name Greyson... that's a nice-sounding name.

My son has a little friend named Kaiser, who everyone calls Kai. I think that's traditional and unusual at the same time.

Let us know if any of our suggestions appeal to you!! :)

Cole or Armstrong are good musician referencing names. I have two boys, Brody and Parker. Brody isn't too common here but I know in some areas it is. Parker wasn't too common until recently. Spencer, Everett (we considered this one but I knew my husband's side wouldn't pronounce it the way I intended!) are others we considered with our second.

Axl, Hudson, Garrett, Carter, Ryder, River, Caleb, Gage, Colton, Ireland... What's your husbands name? Maybe you can combine his in with the name you choose? My stepsons name is Damien and my son is Tyce Alexander and my daughter is Teagan Nicole.. Let us know what you choose! Good luck!

I like Keaton for a boy, not really musical but it's different.

My sons name is Vincent, i also like the name stoker,

My son's name is pretty uncommon. In three years I have only heard of two other people with this name. "Davin" We got this from a musician from Texas named Davin James. Have you ever heard of him.

Good Luck!

Fun question! Maybe a bit too creative, but couldn't pass up the chance to share them.

Baldwin (piano brand)
Vox (Latin for voice-1 syllable, but maybe a unique middle name)
Octavian (for octave)
Treble

Not music related, but my youngest son's name is "different", it's Adler Greyson. My oldest son is Ayden.

I also like Reed, Nolan, Rylan, Rowan...I also really like Presley. There are so many cool names, good luck!!

I know you said 2 syllable first names bu,t Miles Gibson would be awesome!! I wanted to name my son Miles, but my hubs sister had a Miles. Cut to the chase we haven't seen them in like 5 years, so I could have done it.

I also really like Dominic and Silas too!

My son's taekwondo master has a teenage son (this kid is a joy to watch when he spars he's so light on his feet and fast as a whip) and he also play snare drum in the high school band. He's a very nice nice young man. His given name is Lee, but he's known everywhere by his nickname (even sewn into team shirts) - Pookie

My son's name is Grayson.

I don't have a son but if I were to have had one his name would have been Callum. It has nothing to do with music but I love it. Cadence. I guess it is more often used for a girl but could be used for a boy. Euphony? Adagio. Legato. Opus. Tempo. Tremolo. Those are all the musical terms I can think of at the moment. Fender?

My boys' names are Davien ( I put David & Damien togeather) and Evandrix ( we were going to name him Evander but people thought we were naming him after the boxer). Try putting two names togeather. We have 4 kids so I doubt we'll have more, but if we do, I thought Greyo would be cute for a boy.

Don't have a son, but hope to one day, so I have been thinking of names for years! Since your hubby is a musician, what about Lyric. I'm not musical at all, but have always found that to be a neat name.

1 mom found this helpful

Aston (also a very sexy car!)
Eldwin (just cute)
Boston (piano brand)
Garrison (just like it)
Garrett (cute!)
Ellington (piano also)
Everette (American made piano brand, also a great name!)
Milton (piano)

I wanted to name my son Chance, but the husband didn't agree. So we settled for Aiden Chance instead. I also like Cash and Blue for first names and middle names.

Not music related, but I liked some of the Irish names - Declan, Kellen, Lachlan.

Wanted to name my 2nd son, Sawyer, but my husband wouldn't go for it. Also like Braxton, Zane, Zander, Jackson, Tanner, Dawson, Ryder, Cruise/Kruz, Cash.

I have a friend named Tal (rhymes with Al). have a cousin named Rhyden (re-dyn). Another named Draven (rhymes with Raven).

I like to think my kids have unique names. Nothing too far out there. My daughter's name is Lyris (Leer-is) not( Lie-ris) never heard it before at all. It's derived from a musical instument called a Lyre. Nobody liked it in the beginning and everyone loves it when they hear it. My sons name is Jules, it's not common but I have heard it on occasion. Go with what you like don't ask anybody for their opinion because they will give it to you! It took us forever to agree on names, but we are VERY happy with what we chose.

I like Jagger! Some other unique but not weird names I like are Cullen, Sebastian, Blake, Mateo, Gage, Ryder, tyce, Gibson, Grayson, grafton, Kellen, Leland, Easton, talon, Landon, and Everett. Congrats!

My Grandson's name is Phoenix.

Georgie :)

He mostly goes by that but sometimes just George and we have a one-syllable last name and it works great.

Cody,,,,,I call him Cody boy

Gavin, rowyn, rhyston (like piston), brooks

Well the music link that came to my mind first thing was Drummer. Could call him Drum for short, it's close to Drew. But then maybe the kids would call him Dummer or Dum, maybe not such a clever first name.

Torence Chase

my son used to have a unique first name, but it is becoming more popular now: Malachi. I have never met anyone with his middle name: Cain.
Malachi Cain. I still love it and he is 6 now!

I liked the name Asher when my son (Vince) was in-utero. Being a Pink Floyd fan, I thought Sydney (Syd Barrett) would make a great girls name. Could, of course, be a boys name. Melody would be good if you were having a girl. If you go the music route, tell us more about the kind of music your husband plays or what instrument he plays.

update: What about GIBSON (guitar)

My son's name is Adrien. There are a lot of Aidans and a couple Adrians, but never one that is spelled like mine. I thought it was such an elegant name for a male. It really suits him, too. He's athletic, bright, and has cute Justin Beiber like hair(hahaha). Most importantly, he's a super nice and loving boy. Our last name is one syllable, too, so it flows nicely.

My son is named Owen. We've only met one other Owen under the age of 70 in the last 8 years, so it's pretty unique.

My first thought was Lyric, but I can see that has already been mentioned. If the baby were a girl I would suggest Harmony.
Other ideas are:
Reed,
Medley - Often used in overtures, a composition that uses passages from other movements of the composition in its entirety.
Glissando - Sliding between two notes.
Clavier - The keyboard of a stringed instrument.
Chord - 3 or 4 notes played simultaneously in harmony.
I also really like
Cannon - A musical form where the melody or tune is imitated by individual parts at regular intervals. The individual parts may enter at different measures and pitches. The tune may also be played at different speeds, backwards, or inverted.

Good Luck

We have 5 boys:

Mallory (army counselor)
Madison (Son of a great soldier)
Christian (little Christ)
Jadon (God has heard)
Gavin (White Hawk)

If #6 is a boy he'll be named Mason (stone worker)

I also like someone's suggestions of Gibson.

My neighbor's son is Axl, as in the lead singer of Guns N Roses. Good luck with your baby!

Here's some links, per a Google Search for 'musical names for boys':

I knew someone that named one of their twins after the lead singer of ac/dc. =) Bon (for Bon Scott). Just thought I would throw that out there.

My son's name is Colby. I use to teach (before my 3 kids) and never had a Colby in class. :) Good luck.

I have a son named Mavoric. It was my grandfather's name and his nephew's name. It is not MAVERICK. I have had to say that a million times. It is pronounced Maaav-or-ick. I can tell you I have never met anyone else with this name, except family. It is a conversation starter-to say the least.

My boys are Cameron and Keaton. We have only ever run into one other Keaton and it was last summer, so he was 2.5 by that point.

My son's name is Banyan.
