Who doesn’tlovea unique baby boy name?
The 2010s were actually a sign of a big shift in parents' attitudes in naming.
But in the past 20 years, the focus has been 100% on standing out.
Parents are really, really worried about their kids being ordinary."
But out of those 1000, only so many can truly be considered “unique.”
These are 2019’s most unique baby boy names not thebaby names you heard everywhere.
The anglicized name Soren comes from the Scandinavian Sren, which in turn is a form of Severus.
There’s also St. Severin, who remains immortalized by themedieval structuresmade in his honor.
The original latin of the name means “stern,” according toBehind the Name.
Considering that Severus sounds like the word “severe,” that isn’t surprising.
The meaning might not be a big selling point, but Soren has other good qualities.
It’s a softened version of Severus that still has a classic, European feel to it.
It even sounds a little fantastical.
One might also think of the famous 19th century Danish philosopherSren Kierkegaard.
The association lends even more sophistication to Soren.
Bodhi
Bodhi in the original Sanskrit translation means “awakening, enlightenment,” as noted byNameberry.TheOh!
is said to have achieved bodhi (perfect enlightenment) after nearly 50 days of meditation.
In other words, it’s the achievement of Nirvana."
It’s pronounced the same way as Cody or Brody.
The name of enlightenment and inner peace also sounds super friendly and endearing.
You don’t even necessarily have to be a practicing Buddhist to use it.
Arlo
Arlo is what you might call a sleeper-hit when it comes to baby names.
It’s a very unassuming name rustic and homely.
So, where exactly does this mysterious name come from?
Wherever the unique baby boy name came from, it seems like Arlo has been leaving a good impression.
It’s a friendly name, but masculine and strong as well.
It’s unpretentious and we have always had positive reaction to the name."
The inspiration no doubt comes from Gaius Cassius Longinus, a character in Shakespeare’sJulius Caesar.
However, he’s not exactly a knight in shining armor.
Cassius is the senator that masterminds the entire assassination plot on Caesar.
He’s often portrayed as petty, cowardly, and untrustworthy.
Thankfully, there are some better role models for any young boys named Cassius today.
Maverick
It’s almost too perfect thatMaverickmade this list.
Calling someone a “maverick” typically means they’re independent and are a non-conformist.
It’s a positive term that emphasizes their free spirit.
The word maverick actually comes from a real person,politician and landowner Sam Maverick.
He simply just didn’t want to do what was expected of everyone.
Over time, the phrase grew to take on a more modern definition.
Callum
Another unique baby boy name trend that blossomed in the year of 2019 was Celtic names.
One need only considerhow dominant Liam became in the 2010sto see that.
Callum even sounds a little like Liam, ending with that apparently beloved “um” sound.
there’s a saint involved.St.
Columba, from which Callum originates, is credited with converting Scotland to Christianity.
Or maybe they think about theinfamous prisonon Rikers Island in New York City.
Across the Atlantic, though, it’s simply a German name.
A nice surprise for many is it’s ‘rich’ meaning."
Still, kinda looks Ryker is a divisive name.
While used in English to define a lady’s suitor, theFrench wordmeans “the beautiful.”
EnglishmanBeau Brumellwas a friend to King George IV and an influential trendsetter for men’s fashion at the time.
Overall, this name definitely gets high points for having a cool factor.
The twins Knox and Vivienne were born to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in 2008.
News, the name Knox came from Pitt’s maternal grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse.
It should then come as no surprise that Knox started toclimb in popularityafter 2008.
“We see more of our family trees on sites like 23andme.com,” she said.
“Use one of these names, and your family’s happy.”
It looks like Brangelina isn’t immune to the phenomenon, and parent copycats latched on in 2019.
On the plus side, this means that it’s a biblical name that hasn’t been overused.
Will Arnett and Amy Poehler named their second son Abel in 2010 (viaUs Weekly).
Perhaps an even more famous namesake isAbel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd.
So far, neither appear to have been victims of fratricide.
Joking aside, the unique baby boy name does have a sweet, humble feel to it.
Magnus
Magnus is not a unique baby boy name for the humble.
The original Latin literally means “greatest,” according toNameberry.
It makes sense considering words like magnificent.
Magnus just sounds like it demands your attention.
That’s probably why it has a history of being used by royalty.
Clearly, the name Magnus is intended to have a commanding presence and it succeeds.
Nevertheless, your baby should be the greatest to you, so what other people think shouldn’t matter.
Aurelius
The unique baby boy name Aurelius has a great leadership quality to it.
But at least parents won’t be lying if they say their son is a golden child.
As a moniker, Bear teeters on that edge of pleasant-sounding and ridiculous.
One significant person of note named Bear is, of course, the famous survivalistBear Grylls.
“We settled on Bear quite early on,” Winslettold Ellen DeGeneresin 2014.
