I'm going to be 'that person' and suggest 'Oberon' (UK/Shakespeare's spelling) rather than 'Auberon' (French spelling - he'd end up correcting people all the time!).

Orion

I know a Dorian. Lovely. And an Oscar actually.

Sigh...that's what I wanted to name DS, but DH said he'd get his ass kicked
Then I wanted Bjorn , but Star Trek was really popular back then, and we were worried that people would call him Bajorn
Ended up with Daegan in the end, it suits him

Are you making a list just for fun? Or actually naming a baby?

But I agree with pp. unless you are naming a bunch of heros in a series of novels you need to start narrowing!

Why do you want more? You have loads! You need to narrow it down.
