stuck on boy's names - not biblical?

I have loads of ideas for girl's names and they have met with approval from nearly everyone I've run them by. However, I am really struggling for boys. I've chosen a few names, but I wanted quite a plain middle name AND I wanted to avoid biblical names or more specifically, anything that could be used as a confirmation (Catholic) name. PIL iss-yoos... won't bore you here. To be honest, I'm not sure what the rules are on this (is it just New Testament?)...

Anyway, any suggestions very welcome! And feel free to comment on my boy's names although I already did a general names thread, so sorry if you've seen them before!

First names so far:
Leo
Sol
Miles
Theo
Jude
Ralph/Rafe

Middle names so far:
Benjamin
Alistair???
Alexander
Arthur

Ah, should say - our surname is four syllables (double barrel) and starts with a vowel Confused

Firstly, confirmation names are usually saints' names.

Secondly, you might want to drop Jude from your list...
