Guilty Pleasures - Boys Names

Here are some of my favourite, unfortunately unusable boy names. Most of them are nature, place, word or international exotic names.
  1. Ambrose
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "immortal"
    • Description:

      Gentle but grandiose and beloved by British novelists including Evelyn Waugh and P. G. Wodehouse, Ambrose was a fast rising name in 2022. Entering the UK Top 1000 for the first time and proving popular among Nameberry users, its elegance, softness, and vintage style means it fits in with popular Theodore, Sebastian, and Jeremiah.
  2. Arjen
    • Koa
      • Origin:

        Hawaiian
      • Meaning:

        "warrior"
      • Description:

        With Noah taking the Number 1 spot in 2013, Koa is attracting more attention than ever.
    • River
      • Origin:

        Nature name
      • Description:

        River shares the tranquil feeling of all the water names, and seems to have pretty much escaped its past strong association with River Phoenix and his unfortunate fate. Actor Joaquin Phoenix named his son with actress Rooney Mara after his brother River.
