Suggestions for my (fussy) husband?

My DH has vetoed a lot of (beautiful) names, which I've suggested. To date he has suggested two names:

Jack
James

I don't like either of them enough to use, though they are fine. I quite like James, but I'm worried the royal baby might be a boy named James and don't really want the name to match the Royal baby. I am due well before DoC is, so can't change choice after they have their baby.

Fwiw my choice would be:

Gabriel Wilfred Surname
Rowan Wilfred Surname (which ends in -son, so not sure if Rowan goes all that well)?

Dh doesn't like them, but hasn't done a total Hmm face at me for the Gabriel suggestion. So maybe he'll come round to that. But I'm not sure.

Peter?

Oh I just asked him if he had to pick between Gabriel and Rowan which he would pick and he said Rowan. That's progress as I expected him to say "neither"!

I love Jude! Vetoed by DH though.

Samuel and Christopher (Kit) are definite possibilities as we both quite like them. Is Samuel ubiquitous? I only know of two little Samuels (one is 1yo, the other is primary school age).

Thanks chubby!

He's vetoed Alfred and Jacob (due to Rees-mog). We have a nephew named Alexander, (lovely name though), so can't really use. I don't really like Joshua.
