Frum baby boy name

Posted: Mon, Jul 26 2010, 11:59 am Post subject: frum baby boy name

Looking for a frum baby boy name (can be two names) thats not a typical chassidish or lubavitch known name or one that every family on the block has. Something cute that's easy to say or can get a cute nickname out of it. Between my father, grandfather and FIL there's at least 6 names we can't use.

"Frum name" for some will be Shmil Getzel, for others Messod, for others Vittorio Haim, for others Haim Vidal, for others (insert DL boy name, I can't seem to find one).

Ruchel, definitely not names like those. Much more similar to the ones Hashemlovesme mentioned.
Names we can't use are Simcha, Mordechai, Yosef (which I love.... but.... Sad

) Dovid, Avraham, Chaim..

If the name has an English equivalent name to it, my DH would be thrilled. Not something I'd be too happy about though.

Aren't these names regular Hebrew name without a "frum" stereotype?
