Why are boy names so difficult?

Hi all,

please can you help pick out a few options for our baby due in August? We've trawled so many lists and still can't agree.

I'm averse to calling them any names of boys I went to school with, which happen to be the kind of names DH likes.
Also wish to avoid anything ending y or ie due to surname.

Girls names have been chosen for years.

Will be a sibling to Tristan Jack (nearly 3) and Jasper & Jake (born sleeping).

Any ideas would be much appreciated x

There are quite a few names here we've been toying with, so loving some of the ideas.

Owen - DH loves, it's growing on me but still not sold
Luke - Again DH loves and I like enough as a middle name
Caleb - I quite like - thought about it when Clarksons Farm 😂
Felix - I do like but reminds me of the cat food brand 🙊

I like Xander, DH doesn't.x

Maybe think about continuing the Welsh heritage or underused vibes of Tristan and Jasper (I think Jake is slightly more popular), so :

Owen
Evan
Dylan (too popular?)
Macsen
Hugh
Magnus
Rufus
Felix (too popular?)
Elias
Heath
Maxim
Xavier
Ivo
