Alternatives to Oscar and / or Alfie please!

Jumping the gun massively here as only just started TTCing, but DH is stuck on the idea of Alfie and I am (or was) very keen on Oscar for a boy - both of which are VERY popular. Am struggling to think of an alternative for this, currently, fictitious baby so thought I'd ask the masses for any alternative suggestions (which are neither overly popular or so obscure they sound made up.)

Know 4 Toby's too - and like everything else you have suggested, I do like it but like the Alfie / Oscar there is too bloody many of them!

DH doesn't seem to think this is a big deal but I do.

the name Otis I can only associate with a black man (rather than a white baby) - I don't mean that offensively!

Have wondered about Marcus too but DH's brother called Mark and not sure he'd go for it. Think we have an 'informal arrangement' where I choose the DD name and he chooses the DS one but hoping to influence him sneakily in a subtle way.
