Classical and unusual boys name... help?

[BraveLilBear]

Naming is a big problem for us in the Bear household, where this baby could make an appearance any day now (after 37 weeks). Think we have something in mind for a girl, but totally can't get close to a boys name.

We want something classic, classy and unusual, maybe with old English/German origins. Baby's surname will begin with a B and is quite hard sounding, so we had to rule out Sebastian (nn Seb or Bastian would not work with surname), which had been a frontrunner.

I like:
Roman
Lucas
Darwin
Edison
Newton

What else might I like that I can take to DP in our never-ending quest for an apt boy's name?!

Thanks in advance!

I really like your choices so far, OP!

How about:
Sigur (nn Ziggy)
Diggory
Stellan
Constantin
Conrad
Oscar/Oskar (more Germanic with a 'k'?)
Magnus
Alban
Dougan
Idris
Ethan
Eben
Quinn

Lucas unusual?.... I know at least four.

We have a Quentin - so love that . I also like the suggestions of Roman and Magnus. Or how about Dominic or Fabian?

Some fab ideas here, thanks! Am a big fan of Oscar, but don't know how popular it is getting at the moment - didn't know Lucas was leading a charge for popularity so will maybe strike that for now!

Conrad could be one that my DP would take too and Fabian is nice as well

Really like Francis but my family would get very excited by this as a) one of my uncles is a Francis and b) they would see that as a 'Catholic' statement due to the Pope (which is fine, but DP and I aren't religious) so will have to skirt round that one, sadly!

Take a leaf from my DH's book: he wants a boy to be Ohm or Watt! I think he'd quite like twin boys just so he could use both names at once.

NooMyx I see a very familiar theme to those that go on in our house!

Aylmer is interesting - never heard that before!

Really appreciate these, am scribbling them down and will take them to DP later
