Help me find a boys name

Due to have my baby today - no sign of him/her coming anytime soon though!
DH and I have been agreed on a girls name Ivy Elizabeth since about 12 weeks but CANNOT agree on anything for a boy. Our surname is one syllable long so we are swaying towards something a bit longer but it's not a deal breaker - e.g. we both liked Finn (live in NI) but it seems to be really popular at the minute and I know of at least 4 other boys under 18 months called Finn.
My top 3 names are Elijah, Charlie & Isaac whereas DH likes Elliott, Tristan and Oscar
Just can't seem to agree on one along these lines... any suggestions?

I like Isaac and Oscar best from your lists. Could you use Finn short for something more unusual, like Fintan or Finbar?

Other ideas:

Flynn
Thomas
Oisín
Ivan / Ivor/ Ivo
Tobin
Elias
Ellis
Judah
Jonah / Jonas
Maxim
Stanley
Theo

I love Elliot, but would never choose it due to lack of nn options. I'm not sure a boy would want to be known as Ellie, plus Elizabeth could use Ellie if she wanted.
I think you need a long classic name to go with Elizabeth.
