Third boy on the way. Help!

I've just discovered I'm having another boy, after being told at my last scan that it was most likely a girl.
We had finally decided on a girl's name(Fiadh) to go with our two DS's, and I can't deny that I'm a bit gutted we will never get to use it.

Anyway, I'm really keen to find a name to start envisaging this little fella.
We currently have a Rory and a Cillian, both half Irish but live in the UK. We don't necessarily want another Irish name, so open to all suggestions.
Ideally something that doesn't begin with an R or a C.
Thanks!

My cousin called his son Seamus which I love .
I also like Fergus . Matthew , Evan , John and Dan for a different feel !

Thanks all. So far on the list
Malachy
Blake
Tadhg
Gabriel
Logan

Bit worried about how tricky Tadhg could be in England, especially as most people say Sillian and I've even had Sicilian!
Gabriel is a swoonworthy name, would need to get it past DH. Would it be a bit teaseworthy do you think?

Loughlin.

Congratulations, I have three boys and they're great.

Fintan is my favourite of the Fin names.
I’d pronounce Fionn as Fyun.
Other suggestions maybe Cormac, Gabriel, Niall?

@chloboe I'm not going to lie, it did come as a bit of a shock after the previous ultrasound technician thinking it was a girl. This is definitely our last baby. I am really angry with myself for feeling a bit disappointed so keen to get excited now and a name really helps I think!
My DH is super excited about another boy which helps (although he didn't care either way which makes me feel even worse)

We both really like Blake actually, any other opinions?
We also love Fionn @MissyB1 but I think it would be continuously pronounced Fee-on over here and that would drive my DH crazy.
Considering other Fin names but I'm not wowed by any.
