Congrats for the baby on board. Now that you are done with setting up the baby nursery and stocking up on the baby essentials, the next thing on your to-do list would be picking out your baby’s name. And though it can be an exciting time, expectant mums easily fret over choosing a name for their little munchkin. After all, you don’t want something too overused. Imagine sending your kid off to kindergarten and discovering that every fifth child in his class has got your son’s name. Soon your kid will be known by his initials and last name, and the first name would be a forgotten memory. We know picking out a unique and original name can be a headache, so here is a bunch of baby boy names that aren’t overused.
