Soren / Sorell

I'm due in 11 weeks, with our second son (fourth child) and there are literally NO names. Other 3 have quite unusual names, but I can't say 'cos I've not told many people I'm pregnant.

We considered Frederick nn Fred, but I don't like Freddie.
We like Walt / Walter, but it's a bit of a mouthful.
He likes Sun (so he can say "this is my son, sun". No, really.)

I quite like Soren, and Sorell, but the latter is apparently a girls name? Any thoughts? Would I be frightfully cruel to call my fourth born either of these?

And any suggestions? I like quirky, slightly out there but not ridiculously wild. For example : Baxter (a no "'cos it's "a dogs name") Valentine, Wilbur, Quintin, Serafin.

I quite like Soren, Sorell just makes me think of the herb.

I know a lovely little Soren, & quite like the name, not so keen on the meaning.

How about Soloman, Asa or Zane

I like Soren, nice Scandi vibe. Sorell, however, is indeed a girl's name, so no.

Sorry, but I hate Soren, it's too close to the malt loaf brand name.

Don't mind Sorrell. Could you have Red as a nickname instead of Freddie?

Barney?
Spike?

Of those you've listed, I much prefer Baxter to the others, which I think would be too far out there for me.
