Boys names - so difficult

So we're really struggling to find a single boys name that we like! I think they're so much harder than girls names...

So far we have the following shortlist however I'm not sure I particularly love any of them!

Theo
Rafferty
Albie
Wilbur
Blake

Would be great to get some thoughts or suggestions of other similar names!

I think you have a lovely list. My friend has a little boy called Wilbur and he is just the cutest thing so I’m biased there but I also love Rafferty. Lots of good nickname options.
