Unusual name HELP

I’m due a baby boy in 3 weeks and can not find a name my husband and I both like. I think I’ve searched every baby name list that exists on the internet. We already have a girl and a boy with unusual names (Cicely and Rafferty) so I don’t feel I can choose anything overly popular. The names I love are Hugo, Bruno and Gabriel but my husband won’t budge. He likes Hector and Otto but I’m really not keen. Any suggestions? Please help!

I heard of a baby Lemuel a few weeks ago. I've grown to love it.

If you like Ambrose, what about Jerome?

@RickOShay I really like Willoughby but our surname is Trick, would he get called Willy Trick?! Also like Bodhi but not sure if that’s too ‘cool’ sounding? Also like Rex and Beau but don’t know if it needs to be a longer name to go with the surname.

I like the names on both your and your DH’s lists. I’d so love to use the name Wulfric, which some genius suggested on here the other day, but our surname ends in an ‘ic’ sound too, and it just doesn’t go.

Rollo sounds good alongside Rafferty. Slightly bananas, maybe.
