Boys names beginning with M

We have an M surname and as a massive fan of alliteration (yes I know its not for everyone) I'd like a slightly offbeat first name that starts with an M for a boy. Anyone got any interesting ideas? Its much easier to find M names for girls it appears.

Not keen on Mark, Malcolm etc - looking for something a little more offbeat. Ideally European and old-sounding (am actually mad for the likes of Mordred, Mather etc old english names but think that some might be a bit too way out!). Not too posh etc like Milo.

How about Mischa?

We have a Matthew that we call Mather for short. Never knew it was a real name - we just randomly started calling it him!

I'm a big fan of Martin - St Martin's in the Fields is an amazing church, and St Martin is a bloke who saw a beggar who was freezing and cut his cloak in half so he could share it - a principal worth encouraging in the next generation.

Magnar makes me want an ice cream. (Disclaimer: pregnant. Breathing makes me want food!)

Magnus is a good one, as is Magnar. Still loving Mather!
