Back to drawing board with boys' names

I'm 40+4 and thought I had talked DH round to my favourite name but he's admitted he doesn't like it. His favourite is ok but I don't love it.

My favourite is Kit - either as it is or short for Christopher.

His favourite is Dylan.

My main problem with most boys names is that I find them too effeminate. I like determined sounding names e.g. Aaron would be a no-no.

Suggestions?

I like Jem/Jeremy and Kit/Christopher but wouldn't use Kit on its own.

Dylan is okay but am not loving it. How about Dale?

Scott?
Adam?
Jude?

Should have said we have a Thomas Joseph already. I guess I want to avoid another biblical name. He hates Christopher which I knew already - but now saying he's not keen on Kit. I just love Kit - cute on a child and sexy/cool on a man.

So he doesn't like Christopher or Kit either?

I'm sure you'd find my favourites 'effeminate' so I'm trying to think of others...
Matthew
James
Thomas?
