Boys names like Ben and Alex (to go with Max)

Hi. I am looking for a name for DS2. DS1 is Maximilian (mostly called Max),

I love Benjamin (Ben) but DH has a cousin called this.

I also like Alexander (Alex) but it's very popular at the moment and I'm not sure about two names ending in 'x'.

I kind of want a longer name with a nickname that feels like a good solid, but cheeky, cool mate down the pub!

I also love Leon, but not sure it goes with Max.

Any other ideas for names in this vein?

Please no (obviously) bible or traditional names such as Noah or Edward.

Thanks in advance.

I like Leon and think it sounds fine with Max. Other suggestions:

Max and Dominic (Dom)
Max and Seth
Max and Tobias (Toby)
Max and Nicholas (Nick)

Samuel nn Sam (it's biblical, but so is Benjamin)
August nn Gus
You could go with Leon but call him Leo, which is better with Max IMO.

Hmmm...know there are more, I'll be back! This is the kind of name I favor too :)
