Okay, so I have a little dilemma.  My favorite boy names are Jack, Oliver, Caleb and Adam, but to me they are just too popular.  I love them, but I don't think I could use them.  So, I thought I'd ask here what some people thought of some names I have thought of and also suggest some other not so popular names.  I seem to really love names that end in -er btw.  Keep in mind the middle name will more than likely be Manning.

Here are some names from my name list.
Archer, Damien, Deacon, Demetrius, Dimitri, Forrester, Foster, Gideon, Japheth, Josiah, Josias, Judah, Kaiis (kai-us), Malachy, Micah, Nehemiah, Nicolai, Porter, Ryder, Sawyer, Thatcher, Truman

But here are some newer ones that I have thought of recently or saw on SSA:
Cormac, Anders, Simeon (NOT Simon), Makai, Beckett, Milo, Malcolm, Edwin, Westley, Roman, Solomon, Silas, Leland,

I really like Gideon and Simeon (but that reminds me of Goldfinger's song "San Simeon")

Question: how would Malachy be pronounced? I know it's its own name, but most of the time people use as a mispelling of Malachi which is blech.

Anyway, I like Archer. And...maybe Deacon. Josiah's okay, too. The rest of either surnames (Thatcher, Porter, Ryder, Foster, Forrester) or way too Biblical for my taste.

Agreed on Malachy. I would see that and wonder if it was a misspelling of Malachi or Mall-ah-cheeee.

I love Thatcher, Archer, Foster, Josiah, Judah, Cormac, Silas, Leland, and Sawyer.

Thatcher and Silas are both on my list, and I really like the others a lot.

Nehemiah, Simeon, Makai, Westley (I like it spelled Wesley, without the t), Roman, Japeth, and Kaiis all make it seem like you're trying WAY too hard to make them 'unique' and they're names that people aren't going to spell/pronounce correctly. However, like I said, the ones I liked are all different without being TOO different, you know what I mean?

I like Leland Manning and Silas Manning a lot.

A whole lot of your names are ones I enjoy. I really love Archer but I'm so afraid of the nickname "Archie".

Simeon reminds me of monkeys for some reason.
