Need a boys name!

After several miscarriages and 3rd go of IVF, we are expecting twins. We have a boy and a girl due in 8 weeks!
We’d like to incorporate family names as we’ve had a lot of support from our family after so many difficult times.

We’ve chosen the girl’s name: Clara Florence
(After my Aunt Clare and my mother in law’s middle name is Florence).

We are struggling for a boy’s name.
We thought about Michael (my Dad’s name) Raymond (my Uncle and grandfather’s name) but my DH finds it too old fashioned and hates nn Mike, Mikey & Mick.

My DH Dad’s name isn’t an option (we both agree it’s horrible!)

We’ve been through the baby book but DH vetoes everything I like.

Any suggestions to go with Clara Florence?

Matthew and Daniel are a no as my nephew is called Matthew Daniel.

Not keen on Angus as our surname ends in an S.

Christopher was vetoed.
Leo is our cat’s name.

Ezra is a friend’s son’s name.

Gabriel is quite nice though!
