Non-biblical names?

ds due in a few months and starting to think of names. Are there any/many without a biblical reference. Surname begins with an R, and would prefer something European to reflect very mixed heritage. Dd begins with L so probably best to steer clear of that and Dh rhymes with marvin.
Help, need some inspiration!

Yes, but most aren't. You can always google a particular name to check. For example, Julius does appear in the Bible but it's a very minor mention. I don't think of it as a Biblical name, unlike say John or Sarah.

Weren't there a few Romans in the bible though scatterplot?
I haven't personally read it but i'm pretty sure...

There are loads that aren't biblical i'm sure, what's your heritage?
I don't think any of these are biblical but double check if it's important to you:

There are many names. Perhaps look at ones which have a Roman or Greek heritage? Do you want something well known that will work in many countries? Here are a few to get you started, with the British version first:

Alexander / Alessandro / Alejandro
Anthony / Antonio
Francis / Francesco
Julian / Julius
Oscar / Oskar
Richard / Riccardo
Victor / Viktor
William / Wilhelm
