Help boys names, unusual but not made up!

We are trying to come up with a boys name. It is impossible, I have enough girls names for 8 children but none that I love for a boy.

If DD had been a boy she'd have been a Noah Finlay. It is now to common for us.

DH likes Nelson and Jasper and I do but I don't love them like I did my daughters name or any of my chosen girls names!.

We are looking for something that is unusual, cool and cute but not made up like Storm.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

We called our son Ramsey, as a compromise on RAMASES!

Five other children were registered with Ramsey last year.

Find a word you really like, or a greek god that you respect, and go from there

My sons middle name is Eilob - a mixture of Eileen and Bob!

Also liked Monty, Dexter, Victor.

Sometimes they go..."Oohh like GORDON RAMSAY?" and I go, "er, no, like Ramses, the Egyption warlord" and then they shut up!

Love Otto and Theo but DD has them as friends, really dislike Caleb sorry, Rocco is madonna's son!! That's all I can think of.

Love Arlo so cool! Also love Raf but DH doesn't.

Like Victor but work with one who chatted me up and DH nenver forgave!!!. Only time I've ever seen him get protective.

I like Rupert and Miles too but DH doesn't

I love Angus and Stanley but we know a Stanley already, Anugs is so adorable but DH has just vetoed as we have said no Scottish names as I wouldn't have Hamish!

I do like Jasper it was top of the list but I just don't seem to be able to fall in love with any boys names.

I think it's because secretly I would like another DD!.

I can't beleive you brought up Malachy, it's my favourtie name in the world and the noly one I truely love but DH really dislikes it and I don't seem to be able to twist his arm at all and beleive me I've tried I've sent him messages with it in, made it his screen saver and played the horrific delivry card to no avail!
