Baby boy number 4 - was expecting a girl!

So..... I have just given birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy. The thing is, I was told at my 20 week scan that it was a girl. We were all set with a girl’s name which was to be Indie. I know it can be a boy’s name but it just doesn’t work for me. Now in an absolute stale mate on boy’s names!
Having three boys already I feel like I am completely stuck..... we have Ethan, Aidan (both teenagers) and two year old Brodie. I love free sprited, surfy type names or something not weird but a little quirky. Or Celtic but not traditionally so. The only name I have loved so far is Cody. But Brodie and Cody....... Confused Grin Otherwise my other half likes Rex but I’m not completely sold. Any ideas??!

I think Dylan has a similar feel to the boys names you have already.
