140 Unique, Beautiful and Unusual Boy Names with Meaning

Attended your sister’s baby shower and you are the Godmother who has to decide of the name? No, you cannot just let it be because that baby boy has to live with his name all his life. If not for that, I was so decided that if I ever do have a baby boy, he is so going to be named Chuck Bass until Mr. Boyfriend refused to name the son after trash (Nobody wants their son to be called Chuck all the time now!). So well, as much as we’d deny it, the meaning of the name matters, and it matters a lot. No wonder Ian Somerhalder is such a lovely gift from God to mankind.
