Boys names...not a clue!

Just as it says in the subject! We are happy with quite a few girls' names but when it comes to boys, neither of us can even think of one that really fits the bill (no pun intended!). The only criteria are that we'd like something that's a little out of the ordinary but nothing too weird! Suggestions please?

Thanks! I really want to love one of these but I still haven't seen quite the right one - they're all the right kind of thing, this is so frustrating! Really think it's going to be a boy too...

Ooh thanks for the list and so quick too! They're definitely on exactly the right lines but none quite float my boat! You have to really fall in love with a name don't you? And I am such a fussy madam...
