Rare Baby Boy Names A-Z with Meanings | SJ STRUM Baby Name Mondays

[@merdieherdie]

Buzz Aldrin was named Buzz as when he was little his little sister couldn’t pronounce the word brother and the instead of pronounced it buzzer. This was then shorted to buzz and it’s now his legal name 😊

[@therapylullaby63]

Elwyn is a pretty obscure little boys name. It is English and means ‘wise friend’. If it sounds slightly familiar that would be because it was author E. B. White’s first name. His full name was Elwyn Brooks White.

[@alistairmarie1843]

Oh my God, that's gorgeous!

[@TulipByAnyName]

Thanks so much for doing this collab with me 💗 I love Caspian, Gulliver, Ludo, and Rhett... Some seriously juicy names in this bunch! 😍

[@kristinkheartslife]

I also love Emerson. Im considering it for a middle name for my son who is due in August.

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Love your videos SJ. I'm putting my washing away and it's making it a lot more enjoyable! Your voice is so relaxing!!! ❤️

[@evax9271]

E... Elijah. I love Elijah. It sounds really nice and might be quite popular but it's such a cool name!

[@eleni7546]

Apollo, Blue, Charles, Declan, Elliott, Finn, Gideon, Hilo, Isak, Jude, Klaus, Luke, Miles, Nolan, Ottis, Pietro, Quinn, Ryan, Simon, Tobias...

[@smilekatysmile]

Im loving Shepherd. Shep for short. I like it.

[@SJ_Strum]

Me too - I'm so in love with it at the moment! x

[@alicedoesntwearpants]

Shepherd is one of my top favourite names! But I prefer it spelled Sheppard

[@alexa3669]

Like German shepherd? Nooooo

[@bananaab3]

Katy Bednarski that’s my nephews name!

[@allyriastark3508]

Meagan is great - Evren is among her favorites so I love her alot xD Love Caspian, Keanu, Ludo, Ned (due to my love for ASOIAF my user name is after her daughter after all *wink*) , Tapio - I recently saw the name during a mythology post from Tumblr - & Uli Hmm my list will be A - Ardow : water spirits in Turkic mythology B - Balamir : means first born C - Celasun : it was more used in Ottoman times but it is still a rare Turkish name D - Dalai ? I know it brings the mind Dalai Lama but it means ocean in Turkish and can be also spelled as Dalay, Talai or Talay E - Erem : Erem means gospel and it is a great alternative to popular Eren G - Guz : it is pronounced close to goose and it is name of the Guz Turkic of Turkic languages and Oghuz, Kypchak, Altaic etc languages are from this group H - Hazer : the Turkish name for Caspian, also spelled Hazar, and source of the name Azerbaijan I - Imre : variantation of Emre which means friend, lover K - Kurt: means wolf in Turkish and well known among Western world too L - Ladin : is a tree name, honestly L names are rare so a nature name for you M - m names are hard in Turkish but I would say Mete : it unfortunately means death and is the name of founder of Hunnic empire Mete Han which means King of Death O - Orhan : son of Osman Gazi (founder of Ottoman Empire) honestly I love O names and I couldn't choose one S - Sargon : name of an Assurian king and I love s names alot omg but I thought I should come up with a non Turkish name for once T - Talu : means chosen one it is short and sweet U - Uraz : means luck V - names are impossible but Veysel : I think it is a Persian or Arabic name that means wolf Y - Yesuken : I can't help but think it could be mistaken as a Japanese name ? but it is a Turkish name that means follower of law Z - Zağnos ! : a type of falcon, it is a Persian name

[@ElizabethChloeEH]

Yay! I love Baby Name Mondays! Never miss it :D It actually inspired me to do my own baby names video on my channel last week which I really enjoyed. Ooh and E! E for Ellis - I know you have talked about this name before but I just ADORE it! xx

[@sarahnixon2680]

Everett! Anyone else love this name for a little baby boy? German, English origin meaning "brave as a wild boar"

[@ashleytaffer2336]

We love the name Elam (we pronounced like E-lum). It is pretty obscure but has a really similar sound to Liam which here in US is in the top 5. It is a Hebrew name and means eternal or forever and I love that meaning. ❤

[@alenajingle]

OH this makes me so happy!! Meagan is a dear friend of mine that I've met through the baby name community

[@jasminehudson4622]

E, for Ezra, I love that name for a boy💖

[@georgiajaycee8739]

id love a middle name video, i think they can really bring a personality to a name and it would be interesting to see​ your take. i loved Wilson, so cute

[@LilyPaice]

At the moment I've been loving 'Takeo' (ta-kay-oh) it's a Japanese baby boy name and it means 'strong as bamboo' which is so cuteeee!! Haha, love this video SJ x

[@TaraLyz]

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this the first time I watched this video, but Onslow is a character from Keeping Up Appearances & I loved watching re-runs of that show as a teen!

[@lydiacourtenay8739]

Woah Caspian is so edgy haha! Love it. Great video SJ! PS, E for Esteban. It’s so Spanish and has a really fun sound xxx

[@aishasato465]

I'm Japanese and Yoshi sounds like a very old grandma tbh😅 couldn't imagine it as a boy name when I pronounce it but when you do, any name sounds so sophisticated and adorable haha😁❤

[@hannahnicole1509]

Gulliver could be used as an Oliver alternative too!!

[@SJ_Strum]

Totally!! xxx

[@maeganennis8284]

I have a cousin named Wilson after my grandmother's maiden name. I personally love it.

[@symoneontheinternet]

I love the name Caspian! It's for sure on my ever-growing list of names....even though I'm not having kids anytime soon lol😂. I kind of like to keep a list of character names in case inspiration strikes and I write a book... Or something. Anyway... have you heard of the name Kassimer? It's a Balkan name that means royalty I believe. It has the same sounds as Caspian and Casper, but it still has its unique qualities; and it's soft, but still sounds like a boys name to me. And for an E name I really love the name Elias. I think it might be a Hebrew name? I'm not too sure, but I love it. It another kind of flowing/poetic sounding name, but without sounding like a girl's name. I also like the name Evelyn (pronounced like Eve-lin). I realize that people might say it like Ev-l-in as in the girl's name given that they are spelled the same way, but I think it's kinda worth it. I first heard the name on Downton Abbey with the Character Evelyn Napier and I have been so into it since then! I think this is the longest comment I've ever written! Thanks for your videos! I love watching them. 😍

[@HappinessisaSunbeam]

Elias is my fav, Eli for short! Also love Easton and Ellis

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

Happiness is a Sunbeam I have an Easton and if we have another boy Elias is my favorite although I know of a few people who are friends of my friends that have an Elias which may make me want to find something more unique. Elias seems to be picking up speed quickly.

[@KD-dw9hh]

Shepherd, Rhett, and Jago are my favorites. E - Evander. Great video!!

[@twilightiseverything]

E! I’m loving Eagle (I don’t know why!) and Everett. For the surname trend, I also love Elliot and Ellison for boy names!

[@Brianna7104]

E For Everest! An uncommon alternative to Everett :) Also Caspian is my top boy name!! Love it!

[@millsy1236]

My daughter's middle name Valentine. I love it! X

[@ameliao3034]

Angie Mills well that’s a stupid name

[@megliz16]

Elio is a gorgeous name, I love the Call Me By Your Name reference too

[@SJ_Strum]

Ooooh I love that! xx

[@ivanavenegas2269]

I love Elio too

[@sarahholl6469]

It’s E! There’s a KZbinr who has a daughter named Everest which sounds very sweet and could definitely work for a boy too

[@caileegrace3405]

E for Easton is one of my favourites it’s so cute, it’s origin is Scottish and means from the east 😊 or another one I love is Elwood, origin is English and it’s mean is elder tree forest 🌳

[@SJ_Strum]

OMG I love those! xx

[@MidwestMom]

E! I love Everett. I think it’s such a handsome name!

[@mollysworld5685]

ME TO!!!!

[@mollysworld5685]

that’s on my baby names list!

[@KeikeNani]

Ludo from Labyrinth 😍😊

[@autumnrosedearborn8923]

My husbands name is Elliot and my sons name is Easton Elliot. If we have another boy I really love the name Elias, but unfortunately I know of a few people (not close ties, but friends of friends) who have a boy named Elias which may make me find a new favorite.

[@AmeliaEverythingBabyNames]

I knew you and Meagan had done a collab video, but I hadn't gotten a chance to watch it yet! And then I was going through my A-Z favourite names last week and was thinking to myself, why don't I just do an A-Z of unique names that I never get to talk about. That's so funny. So this popped up in the corner with the recommended when I went to preview my video. I'll have to put a link to your videos or something. Have fun!

[@rivernoellesegreto656]

I LOVE Caspian 💙👏 just added it to my list.

[@mandyjackson9477]

I know you didn't miss K out but I absolutely love the name Kellan. So different and unique!

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh yes it's gorgeous! xx

[@ginawilson2996]

I had a little boy in my pre-k class a few years ago names Kallen

[@ashleywoodall458]

My first son's name is Kellen!

[@hannahadams6942]

Eisen is one of my favorite names (pronounced Eye-zen)

[@alexwholey3391]

E! For Ernest. X

[@bexbrider6305]

I love the name Charlsie for a girl, it's the feminine version of Charles instead of Charlotte. I do love Quillan, Shepherd, Hollis, I quite like Scout (although it wasn't on the list) and especially Jago.

[@TheAndrusko]

I have a little boy cousin named Emmerton, I adore his name and he is such a kind-hearted, gentle little man

[@carliemichelle19]

E for Everest! When we were out one night a dad was waiting for his wife with their baby boy and his name was Everest, I've been in love with it ever since

[@angelenapulis9083]

2 years later, but what the heck? 😊 I have a crush on the name Edwin. It’s not used very much in the US anymore.

[@Roedygr]

You also have to think how the name will be teased, and as an adult

[@janmcguire5268]

I love Emerson and Easton for boys.

[@sarahalferty1992]

For E here are two old odd names: my married grandparents were named Edvard (yes, with a V because it’s the Danish Edward) and Edna so they were Ed and Eddie

[@carabellavlogs]

Hollis is officially on my baby name list.. I love itt that and Ned xxx

[@Sielleis]

I loved the name Quillan until I found out it's actually pronounced "Kill-an"...to close to "Kill Him" for me 😆

[@cortneysimpson7440]

E! I LOVE Espen. It’s Scandinavian and means Bear of God. I really like the idea of an Espen nn Bear. Unfortunately, in the states it has an association with ESPN and the originally meaning is lost. I also like the similar Esben (meaning divine bear). From your list, I love Maddox and Rhett.

[@SJ_Strum]

Wow those names are gorgeous - thanks for sharing them xxx

[@dmallow22]

I didn't even think of ESPN, it sounds cool!

[@bridgetolsen3700]

I know of an Espen in the states! It works.

[@meghanh6978]

E for Ellis :) I love that name. Also, Caspian is so nice x

[@leahpintol]

I just recently started watching her channel! You guys have great taste ❤❤❤

[@seroquel.sweetheart]

E, I really like Elijah but it’s too popular at the moment for me to use

[@meggalaxy]

I know you didn’t mention these but My favorite name for a boy is Sullivan Jack but I plan on just adopting only one girl when I’m older but it makes a good name for sims I guess! Lol

[@daisychainheadband]

Your missing letter was E, my favourite boy names beginning with E are Ezra & Emmett ☺

[@ralucawood2348]

E! Emmett, Eli, Emerson, Evan, Elliott, Ezra, Edison(my hoped for baby boy)

[@MandyXyShi]

Always excited to see some new names! Well done again!

[@SJ_Strum]

So glad - love seeing you here xxx

[@MandyXyShi]

I definitely put Tapio on my list now!

[@thehufflepuffhermione]

A - Arnold - It reminds me of The Magic School Bus. I loved that show. Not really a name I would pick. B - Buzz - Buzz Lightyear is my first thought when I hear that name. If I wasn't American I feel like it would work better. C - Caspian - I love it. It's perfect. D - Drew - Simple but classic sounding. It's becoming very popular for girls. E - Ezra - I'm assuming this is the letter you missed. I adore Ezra and think it's such a cool E name. F - Franz - Not really something I would choose. G - Gulliver - Not for me. H - Hollis - Not really for me either. I - Ivar - Another one that's not my taste. J - Jago - I prefer Jaco. K - Keanu - Not for me. L - Ludo - Yet again there is another name that's not my taste. M - Maddox - I simply just love it. N - Ned - All I think of is Ned Stark and Ned Flanders. O - Onslow - I like it but don't love it. P - Pippin - Reminds me of the musical. Q - Quillan - Not for me. R - Rhett - I like it. S - Shepherd - I adore this name sooooooooooooooooooooo much. It's such a cute name. T - Tapio - Nope. Just nope. U - Uli - Not for me. V - Valentine - This name should stay with the holiday. W - Wilson - I think of this as a last name. Just doesn't work for me. X - Xerxes - Nope. Don't like it. Y - Yoshi - Love the character. So cute. Z - Ziggy - I adore it.

[@BrittKatSlat]

Ugh. Valentine is actually a legit name, even before it was a holiday.

[@AlizzaSpeaks]

Your so adorable 😱😍 I love the culture difference in names 😂 all your names are so European and very British 😊

[@ninae.lavelanet-lewnau143]

E- Emrys, one of my childhood friend's brother was named Emrys!

[@marytheresel795]

You’ve got some awesome names here! I quite like Ludo and Jago- strong & unusual. For E, how about Everard? I think it’s a medieval, knightly name, and you could go with Ardo as a cool nickname.

[@JVCxo]

Omg ziggy! Anyone remember a housemate on big brother called Ziggy?! 😂🙊 xxx

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh yes!!!!! I need to google him now - ha ha!

[@breannapittman1499]

E is for Ezra, Ebenezer, and Easpain (a little boy is name this at my church. They replaced the c in Caspian with an E.)

[@smalltownsunshine9885]

E for Everest. I know it’s a bit out there and might be seen as more of a name for a pet. But I love it for a little boy. He could always go by Ev when he grew up if he doesn’t like Everest. It just seem so cool!

[@shannonmcmahon334]

E for Easton - my boyfriend is called this!!!! X

[@CazAvery]

Arnold is going right onto my list... ooh, such a crush. Quillan is ok, not for me, but Quill is definitely an awesome nickname. I watch some American family vloggers and they have really interestingly named kids, including a little Shepherd! Wilson is really cool, definitely something I'd consider. My E choice is Evander, I just love it. It means 'bow warrior'. I also love Everett (and Everest as a bit of guilty pleasure!).

[@lilyhowell189]

E - Elliot! I love this name sooo much it's pretty common but I love the way it looks

[@rebeccagreenwood7092]

my baby boy name of choice.. love it

[@tinas4389]

Eden for a boy! It's almost a guilty pleasure name for me because of all of those -den names like Kaden, Brayden, Jaeden, Zaiden etc... although it has the same ending I think it is a lot different from those!

[@chelseagibson9761]

Arlo, Brax, Cole, Damion, Ezra, Flynn, Gideon, Heath, Issac, Jake, Kingston, Lincoln, Mason, Nelix, Oakley, Parker, Quest, Ryder, Sanderson, Theoden, Uriah, Venice, Winter, Xander, Yehada, Zayer

[@jxckie.x]

I think "Corbinian" (Corb-e-n-ee-an) for the letter C is a pretty unique and cool name, you could also spell it with a K in my opinion😊

[@charlotteduncan7088]

E!!! My fave e name is Edwin

[@jaylahalvarez1]

E-Emelian

[@SmoliverTwist]

E! I don't know why and I know it's old-fashioned but I really like the name Eugene - only 18 boys named this in 2016. I've liked it ever since watching Tangled. I also like having Gene as a nickname - super cute!

[@dmallow22]

me too! it's a family name!

[@ginawilson2996]

I have a little boy in my pre-k class with the middle name Eugene and another little boy with the middle name Gene

[@mariebrown4966]

Elisha! (i-LIE-shə) I also really like Onslow.

[@sabrinagibbons4442]

My E boy names are Emerson (my absolute favourite), Evander, and Everett

[@dmallow22]

Emerson and Evander are my faves too!

[@samwhite1373]

E for Ernest. My grandads middle name. I thinks it's a strong name and could imagine a baby ernest. Love your videos. Xxx

[@joss_x9153]

you should do a baby name list of Spanish and Latin American names. there are some absolutely beautiful ones

[@dmallow22]

Love Caspian, Maddox, Rhett (which is probably more popular here in the US) and Ziggy (once I read Big Little Lies of course!)! Jago is really cool and similar to Django which I like. Onslow sounds cool too (which I've never heard). Shepherd is cute, but the surname of my friend's ex soo can't use that one haha. For the missing letter, E, I LOVE Evander! It's just sounds so handsome for a boy, I think it means strong. I have no idea why it's not more popular with names like Zander, Xavier, Alexander, etc. There's a few others I like too like Emerson, Emery, Ellery, Enzo, and Everest!

[@a.j.6033]

Ellington is probably my favorite surname name for a boy!

[@9emma1234]

My fav boys names beginning with E are Elijah (shorten to Eli) and Ezra

[@madelovinglycrochet]

Oh I can’t go with Caspian we have about three pizza places with that name by us! Did you miss out E? How about Eddison for something a bit cool or if you want something a bit out there how about Echo? (Both from nameberry) xx

[@roserickard5148]

Ziggy played guitar... Ludo is also a character from the labyrinth.

[@WhatJacKnots]

Ziggy is my brothers nickname! (Zachary) We also call him just zig

[@SurreyMama]

I really love Wilson and Arnold! Loving these videos - problem is I need another baby to use these names ;) xx

[@clairej5181]

Been watching Meagan for ages! Loved your collabs. E for Evan or Elias. :)

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh good! She's great isn't she! Oooh love those E names :-)) x

[@edajoirpourboire3927]

My cousins name is Arnie, he’s 9 now!

[@serahandstars]

E! For E I like Eberard (could shorten to Eb/Ebby) and it means strong and steadfast which reminds me of the Boys Brigade motto - my husband and his father before him have been members for many years! I loooooove Gulliver, Jago and Quillan! Definitely adding those to my list for any future boys! Currently pregnant with my first little boy and he will be called Remus (Harry Potter and Ancient Roman mythology reference!) I’ve never met a Remus in real life, but love how strong it sounds and that it doesn’t sound wacky even though it’s very unusual :)

[@luriemu1]

Whenever I hear Maddox I always think of Charles Manson because he was born No Name Maddox! Kind of throws me off... 😟

[@robertaangleton3149]

Arnold is an old fashioned name and I do agree that some old fashioned names would be okay to come back I have an old fashioned name and im 27 and hated it growing up and still dont like my name

[@meljstephan]

I love Meagan's channel! For E, I love Elliott or Emrys (which was meant to be my name if I was a boy).

[@ellsworth9430]

Have you done the rare girls names a-z with meanings if you have can you please make one because i am really into rare girls names

[@shani_kendrick]

I know a little baby Arnold! So cute. I love Wilson! Putting that on my list if I have another boy 😄

[@SJ_Strum]

Yay an Arnold! It's so cute! Wilson is perfect - I'm sooo jealous! ha ha x

[@KeikeNani]

I like Tapio, but it reminds me of the hot sauce Tapatio lol...maybe I'm too Californian cus thats everywhere here lol.

[@parismadeleine]

“Zed”?? Is that how British people say Z! Haha found that interesting we say “zee”

[@veronica.theswamphag]

Haha Canadians say "zed" also
