Baby boy names?!

Evening all!

I’m really struggling to choose a name for my baby boy and would love some opinions on my options so far, and any suggestions are welcomed.
Due to coronavirus I now have until June to register him but am feeling really awful just calling him the baby all the time :(

  • Maximilian/Maximiliano/Maximus
  • Azai
  • Aries
  • Adonis
  • Laurent
  • Théo
  • Zac/Zachary (love this name but very common so not keen)

I’m looking for a name that is not very common. Something different/unusual. I’m quite into strong Greek and Latin names also.

Id go with Roman:)

I like Zachary (Zac)
I like Theodore (Theo)

I don't mind Max, but not keen on any of the long versions

I wouldn't land any poor child (then man-to-be) with 'Adonis'. that's just not fair.

I wouldn't call a child a star sign

Don't like Laurent
Don't like / never heard of Azai

Forgot to add Roman on there as one of my options!

I love Maximilian, but if you’re after names that aren’t common I’d avoid as Max is very popular.

I like Aries from your list. I also like Ariel.

Not keen on Adonis or Aries - that's a lot to live up to!!
Maximilian is great. Always lovely Maxim as a nickname.
