Cassandra is expecting a baby boy in early June and she’d like some name suggestions.
She’s looking for “strong, unusual names” with one or two syllables. So far, Cassandra likes the name Fox and her partner prefers Aston. The baby’s surname will begin with an L and have one syllable. (Think Ladd.)
When I hear “strong,” I think of plosives (p, b, t, k, etc.). So I focused on short names with strong sounds that aren’t currently in the top 100. Here’s what I came up with:
| Bennett Brent Brett Brock Cash Chet Clark Colt Corbin Craig | Dane Dax Deacon Drake Duke Emmett Flint Frank Garrett Grant | Gray Holt Jax Jett Kai Keaton King Knox Paxton Pierce | Quinn Rex Rhett Stone Tate Trent Tucker Victor Zack Zane |
Which of the above do you like best? What other names would you suggest to Cassandra?

We named our son Artem, which I think of as a strong unusual name. My other favorite is Zev, howeer, I don’t think it would work well with a last name like Ladd.
Mmmm Artem is great!
Thanks for your comments… many fantastic names to contemplate. I have a lot of thinking to do within the next 7 days before the birth!
Will let you know what we decide upon.
Cheers
Cassandra
