He likes traditional, old fashioned names (Henry, Arthur, Aubrey etc) - I abhor them all. I like modern, European names but nothing too "out there". Detest all the currently popular names like Noah, Arlo etc (no offence!).

We are a French / Irish / Dutch / Italian / English mix. We have an Irish O'Surname so anything starting or ending in O is out. Or anything super Irish as a first name (which is a shame as i like many Irish boys names).

So far the only options we have are

Leon
Sebastien
Julien
Frédéric
Hunter (maybe too controversial, can't imagine our families liking it, or a baby being called that.., but we do both like it)

Help! I want a name that we both love? Any suggestions?
