Girls names like Theodora, Tabitha, Arietta, Tallulah, Felicity, Madeline, Adelaide, Matilda

What boys names might I like?

I quite like a longer name that have a couple of nickname options. Preference towards names that end in A or Er sounds as it leads into our surname nicely (surname begins with M and ends in an EE sound)
I like Alexander (nn Xander) but DH vetoed

Thanks everyone, lots if names on here that I've thought of in the past but either I've deemed them 'too popular' or DH doesn't like. Boys names are so hard!!
How hard can it be to find a name that's not super popular, long but not frilly, not too traditional (royal) sounding but also not weird? 😂

I think I'd better hope I have a girl 😇
