Animal Names for Boys

O-ending boy names are on trend, and the Welsh language provides some interesting lesser-used ones...such as Beuno. St Beuno lived in the sixth century, established a monastery in North Wales, and is recorded as having restored several people from the dead. Eleven churches in Britain now bear his name, including several on the ancient pilgrim route to Bardsey Island.

In "Star Trek" 's twenty-fourth-century scenario, Danar is the perfect human; that's a lot of pressure for a baby, but he may just live up to it.

Esau is a rarely-used Old Testament name in the US, perhaps due to the character's biblical fate. Isav is one step removed, which may make it more palatable to parents.

Rare international form of Israel.

Not a viable option if your baby is going to speak English.
