'Kooky' brother name needed to go with Phoebe

As it says really, I have decided on Phoebe for my LO but I am thinking ahead to names for a possible brother for her.. What do you think works well?

I am thinking something a little bit unusual in the sense that it isn?t majorly popular right now, but nothing made up, creative spellings and no surname names.

So,

Zachary
Jasper
Sebastian
Rafferty
Noah maybe

That kind of thing..

Please could you suggest some more I cant think!
Thanks

hehe, thanks. I am really quite liking Wilfred actually! Wilf and Freddie :)

However, I doubt my partner would agree!
Also quite like Jonathan, tho not unusual, but irrationally detest Jonty so we would have Jonny. My OH is Jim/Jimmy so quite similar... :S I'm not sure I like the whole name Jonathan Shailes as reminds me a bit of a boy I knew in school..

Like Caspar too as alternative to Jasper. Tho OH thinks 'ghost;. There is Casius and Casimer too, but they belong to another lady on here/bc.

I do like Noah :) Wish it wasnt so popular atm x

You could always go for the name of one of his sons - Shem maybe? (Noah, that is).

ER.. Gregory maybe? You don't need to be Celtic for Rory unless you use the proper complicated spelling.

The SmallDragons' names are Scottish, Irish and Welsh (all anglicised versions) but the only one I can possibly justify is Welsh through the in-law side of the family.
