Hi, I recently found out I'm having a boy and I'd like a name that's short and cute. Ideally I would like a name that isn't very popular and a little unheard of...but I know this is a challenge in itself. I would like to match my girl name Gia.
The names I have so far...
Hari
Charlie
Avi
Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

Charlie is uncommon??
addler · 26/05/2021 07:24
Charlie doesn't really fit the bill of uncommon.

Hari (Harry) and Charlie are very common names, usually at least 2 in a class at school.
How about
Lee
Mark
Seth
TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 26/05/2021 07:32
Kevin or Brian? Net there aren't many of those around. Agree there's probably loads of Harry's and Charlie's around.
How about Jura or Orran?

I love Blue. But it doesn't go with Gia. Saul, or Seth are good suggestions. Quinn ?

If you shouted Charlie in a soft play 20 kids would turn round 
definitely not uncommon.
Oakley.
Zane.
Ellis.

Haha yes agree Charlie and Hari are very common! Just a suggestion on names I like so far to help with suggestions. I quite like Arlo too.

Arlo is so popular. There are 3 in my grandaughter's reception class.

Arlo is super common. I know of 6 all under 5. There's a new one just started at my son's preschool.
My son has a very traditional boys name and so far I've only met 1 other with the name. None so far in his class at preschool or nursery.
My daughter has a very uncommon name (only 19 others in her year of birth) and I've already met 3 round by me! One was a few years older but still.
