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

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.

Koa
- Origin:
  Hawaiian
- Meaning:
  "warrior; flowing tree native to Hawaii"
- Description:
  The international popularity of Noah has led to some parents searching for alternatives and the rhyming Koa is now attracting more attention than ever. With it's cool K initial and summery, nature-inspired feel, this punchy three letter name has risen more than 600 places since it entered the US charts in 2017.

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.
