Love Leo - what other names would I like?

I love the name Leo but can't use it sadly. Please could you give me some other suggestions?

I like reasonably classic names, and they also have to work in French (but I'm not a huge fan of very French names, my DH has one of the few I like!)

The only names I can think of that I don't hate aren't particularly inspiring me:
Joseph - Joe
Benjamin - Ben
Sebastian / Sébastien - Seb (wouldn't use because of different spellings)

Help!

Hi, we have an Anglo-French partnership in my family. there are many that have only a slight difference in spelling but are essentially equally recognisable in both countries.
Assuming it is for a boy there are actually quite a few; I personal like the following:
Adrien
Alain
Alexandre
Anton -yes! (but not Bruno!)
Christien
Roger
David
Isaac
Gerard
Georges
Luc
Marc
Martin
Nicholas
Leon ???
Julien
Oliver
Paul
Philip
Richard
Robert
Roland
Tristan
Thierry
Thomas
