Struggling for boy names-First time parents

Hiya , I’ve written here before with some name ideas We like but boy names is something I find harder than my husband does . He really likes Ezra but it doesn’t tickle my fancy as much as it does him . I’m only just over 9 weeks so it’s very early and we’re not going to find out what we are having so need a few names in case it is a boy and doesn’t suit the one name we choose lol
So for a girl we’ve chosen a few in case she doesn’t look like she’ll suit our favourite which is Bronwen Rose.
So we’ve got Alessia Rose and Olivia Rose as back up (100% having Rose as middle name because it’s a family name)
Boy names - we like Ethan , and obviously husband loves Ezra . Any other ideas ? Middle name will be Paul. As you can see we are not into totally out there names , so nothing like Harper or River will be a choice of ours . Our surname begins with an L and isn’t unusual , a very basic surname and two syllables.
Thank you !

@Whatsyourflava thank you , I don’t know any Matthews other than my Uncle who sadly passed away. I love Eli but don’t think my husband would be too keen :(

Ah Matthew is lovely @itsemily - really underused

Great suggestions thank you !
I do like Matthew and that’s a family name too so I think my husband may like that too. Otis is also lovely ! Thanks ladies !
