There are so many beautiful names for boys throughout all cultures and countries that it can be hard to narrow down your options. Instead of choosing a name that you're hearing often, consider something different. Here are 10 unique names for baby boys that you may not know.

Cannabis Is Perfectly Legal

The name Lyndon is English and has two meanings. One is "lives by the linden tree," and the other is "lime tree hill." It's used as both a last name and a geographical place, but you're probably most familiar with it because it was the name of an American president Lyndon Baines Johnson.

Duke

Duke is becoming more and more popular as it works its way up the Social Security Administration's baby name list, but it's still pretty unusual. The masculine one-syllable name means "leader" in Latin. In history, actor John Wayne was nicknamed "The Duke," and Duke Ellington was a famous Jazz musician.

Gray

From home decorating to hairstyles, gray is quite a versatile color. It also makes for a unique baby boy's name. Of course, it originates from the color, and it can also be short for the name Grayson.

Axl

Axl is one of those names that a few celebrities, like Josh Duhamel and Fergie, have used for their kids, and, of course, there's the rock star Axl Rose, but it's still something you don't hear every day. The name has Hebrew origins.

Remington

Remington is a name that is growing in popularity, but it's highly unlikely your little one will show up to preschool with five other kids with the same name. The name is Old English for "raven," a bird thought to bring good luck in Greek mythology, notes The Bump.

Viggo

If you're looking for a strong Scandinavian name, you can't go wrong with Viggo. It means "war" and dates all the way back to the days of the Vikings. It's fairly popular in Norway and Denmark, but it hasn't caught on in the United States just yet.

Abner

When searching for biblical names, you'll probably come across the usual suspects, like Matthew, Adam, Levi and Isaiah. Go for something a little different with Abner. This Hebrew name roughly translates to "my father is light."

Walden

Walden remains unusual and rarely used for a baby boy's name. German for "valley of the Welsh," the most popular use of the name dates back to the book of the same name by Henry David Thoreau, notes Nameberry.

Ace

Ace is short and sweet and might make you think your little boy will grow up to be a championship athlete. That's probably because the English name is also a nickname given to people who excel.

Titus

The name Titus has many historic origins. It was the name of a famous Roman emperor, a companion of St. Paul in the New Testament and the title character in Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus." While it's growing in popularity, it remains quite unusual in the United States.
