unusual boys names

[devaretha.livejournal.com]

Toying with these names lately:

Kai
Blaise
Asher
Vaughn
Shea (or Shay - though my DH thinks this sounds like a girl's name)
Boaz

WDYT? And are there any additional, similar names that you might add? I just feel that I see the same boys names repeated again and again and I'm interested in some variety to chose from.

A friend of mine has a son whose middle name is Kai. She often calls him that. I really like it, it's something that is nice on a little boy, but also on a grown man.

A girl I went to school with has a brother named Blaise... he also has red hair, so he got "Blaze" comments alot in school lol.

One of my bff's from school has a son named Asher. I love the name.

Vaughn- I love. It's a name we threw around for our daughter before we found out she was a girl.
I agree that Shea/Shay is a girl's name. I don't like it on a boy much.
Boaz- I don't like at all. I want to say it like Boa's, like the plural of Boa.
