Christmassy boys names

We are expecting DC3 in December. Not looking for girl's names - DC1 & 2 are boys, so we've got a good idea of favourite girl's names for our shortlist.

One thing we've considered is whether to have a seasonal name, but we're struggling to think of many boy ones except Noel and Robin, which neither of us like. Any Christmassy boy's name suggestions?

Jesus is surely just a little bit too Christmassy, yes? Grin

I did suggest Nicholas but DH giggled childishly about it sounding like "knickerless". So I guess that's out!

And a definite no to Herod. The Slaughter of the Innocents is not the sort of Christmassy association we want.

Stephen - St Stephen's day is Boxing Day. Sylvester, which is New Year's Day in many countries. And of course, Nicholas after Santa Claus.
