Our list is :
Archer (but I worry it would be shortened to Archie)
Hunter
Axel/Axl (my worry is people think of car parts but I do love the name)
Xander
Leo (DP really not that keen, says its more of a dogs name?)
Orion (DPs choice but I worry it could be too out there and get shortened to Ryan)

Middle names will be old fashioned family names if that matters at all.

DC1 has quite a unusual name, similar in sound to Noah but is a unisex name.

We are really stuck this time round.

I'd say Orian as an Orry-an (like lorry) rather than O-ryan.
I'm really not a fan of names like Archer, Axel and Hunter, they're a bit red neck American for me.
Leo is cute and Xander isn't too bad but I'd use Alexander as his full name.

Archer - tbh prefer Archie
Hunter - like it
Axel/Axl - getting more common makes me think of the car part
Xander - love this ✔️
Leo - cute but quite basic
Orion - bit out there

Archer (but I worry it would be shortened to Archie) - it will get shortened to Arch, which is an adjective. I dislike it.
Hunter - ok. Hunting isn't all that popular with the general public. Wellington boots.
Axel/Axl (my worry is people think of car parts but I do love the name) - fine. Might get spelt Axle
Xander - not keen. Makes me think of zander, so a bit too fishy.
Leo (DP really not that keen, says its more of a dogs name?) - nice but popular
Orion (DPs choice but I worry it could be too out there and get shortened to Ryan) - Oh Ryan. A bit try-hard. Ford Orion.

I'm not keen on surnames as first names, but from your list I'd choose Leo or Hunter depending on the surname.
