Boys names beginning with R

We have no boys names and surname begins with R. I like the idea of having RR initials, also find really uncommon/unique names. Any ideas?

Rory and Rowan are two of my favourites. Although my partner has vetoed both for any future babies Sad

'Regan and Rumer are girl's names!'

Traditionally, maybe.

According to the BBC name thing, in 2017 there were 87 baby boys called Regan and 11 baby girls. I doubt it's changed so much in a year that it's only for girls in 2019!

There were only four babies called Rumer, they were all girls though! But if a name is that unusual you can use it for either sex. It's not like calling a boy Sarah or Jane. There are lots of names that start life for one sex and make the leap to unisex (Cameron, Jamie, Jody, Jesse, Elliot, Charlie, Stevie etc.)
