If you know you're giving birth to a boy, then you'll probably want to start brainstorming some names for your future son. Heck, even if you don't know your baby's sex, you might want to lay out some options before their due date. If you want to skip the classic names you've heard plenty of times before, you could opt for one of these more unique boy names.
Keep in mind that the distinctiveness of any name depends a lot on context. For example, many names that have been traditionally less common have exploded in popularity in recent years. Additionally, names that are rare in some states appear very frequently in others. Check out the list below of 24 names for your new baby boy that are universally unique and have a range of origins. You could also take your baby-naming cues from a particular heritage, creative celebrity, or collections of the most unusual monikers, all of which have options that don't include Tom or Steve.

Wren
If you're looking for a more gender-neutral name, Wren works really well. It's a popular name for girls but has gained some traction in boys as well, just not as much in comparison.
