Really strong boys name

I'm looking for a really strong boys name, one that could be a hero in a mills and boon novel. Nothing 'wet' or wimpy or geeky or too 'american' or too 'out there'.

So far I've come up with only

Damien
or
Luke

Any ideas?

Gosh, I'd put Damien in the wet category myself.
I suggest:
John, Mark, Tom, William, Connor, Robert, Edward, Edgar, Raymond, Michael, Samuel, Bruce...
Maybe list: Lance.

I like Torran - sounds tough, rugged, down to earth, with a sensitive side (could be overthinking it, of course!)

Luke is ever so drippy. What about... Thor!

Those names sound a bit drippy not strong at all. Colm was a name in a romance novel I read as a teenager but we had never heard of it before so kept calling him column.

Thank you Knofje, most helpful.

Perhaps I should add, it is for a novel, and not for my baby!
