World War II stamped a permanent verboten on Adolph. 

Adolph

An early day name worthy of consideration today for someone seeking a truly unusual name.

When actress Shannyn Sossamon dubbed her newborn Audio Science, it sent out some definite shock waves. We don't recommend Audio or Video for even the most intrepid baby namer. 

Audio

When actress Rachel Griffiths chose this highly unusual name for her son, many assumed it was a bizarre invention. But a noted Australian poet (Griffiths is an Aussie) is known by this name. 

Banjo

One of the aggressive new boys' names, ala Tracker and Heller, that have become fashionable among parents who are courting trouble.

Breaker

Fluttery and flighty.  But there are a couple of names that mean butterfly you might consider, such as Yara and Farasha.

Butterfly

Cedar is, like Ash, Oak, Pine and Ebony, one of the new tree/wood names that parents are starting to consider; this one is particularly aromatic.
 In the Bible the cedar is mentioned in Psalm 92:12: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon." The Lebanon  Cedar was used to build King Solomon's temple in Jerusalem, and there are now several hospitals called Cedars of Lebanon, plus a U2 song by that name.
 A contemporary bearer of the name is the jazz pianist Cedar Walton.

Clearence

Prime example of the aggressive word names that are an off-the-grid branch of the new macho names.  Makes Cannon, Maverick, and Ranger feel almost soft and sensitive by comparison. 

Danger

Denim

Dune is a name of several layers. It's a modern nature name, like Ocean, Bay and Reef, although rarer, conjuring up images of breezy sand dunes on summer beach days.
 
It's also assocated with Frank Herbert's Dune iconic series of sci-fi novels. The name increased in popularity in 2021, when the most recent movie adaptation was released.

Dune

A wonderful meaning for a bright and musical West African name.

Falala

An admirable meaning, with roots in a Germanic word meaning wisdom, but we fear it will never be detached from the hobbit hero of The Lord of the Rings.

Frodo

Like Silver, a shimmering metallic color name, almost too dazzling for an ordinary boy. 

Golden

Leigha

Mandolin may seem like an outlandish choice for a name, but since BANJO has been used as a baby name, all the instruments in the band seem to be auditioning for a place on birth certificates.  This one comes with a real name nickname, MANDY.

Royal names are on the rise. Along with names such as King, Prince, and Royal, why not Palace? Why not indeed.

Palace

Quandra

New, fast, cool, and chosen by director Robert Rodriguez, whose other sons are Rebel, Rocket, and Rogue, all somewhat risky options. 

Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington are also parents to sons named Racer and Rocket.

Racer

Name with connotations both mystical and tragic, newly popular in Europe.  For English speakers, though, this name might be ruined by its homonym ruin.

Rune

You can call your daughter Sugar, but only as a term of endearment.  Her real name has to be something, almost anything, else.
