Having twins and we have the girl's name picked but can't think of one for the boy

I am 23+2 with twins; a boy and a girl. We have our baby girl's name picked, she'll be called Poppy. But we cannot agree on a boy's name. His middle name will be Jack regardless, but can't think of a first name. Jack sadly isn't an option for his first name as my nephew is named that.

We liked Oliver but have gone off it.
We have mentioned Freddie briefly but neither of us love it. Same with Teddy.

Any suggestions are welcome 😊

Peter? Depends if you like the matching P or not.

Elliot goes well with Poppy and Jack.

William too.

I love the sound of Poppy and Teddy Trying to think of other suggestions....Charlie, Finley, Theo, Oakley

James?

Poppy and James
then he'd be James Jack - I love JJ as an initial combination though. It can work as a nickname.

Lucas

Noah

Jack for a middle name works with pretty much every name tbh depending on the surname.

I really like Poppy and Arthur.

I know one Poppy and her brother is called Noah.

Mmm Poppy suits a baby, toddler, maybe a young adult but I’m thinking nothing older?

Anyway:

Poppy and Callum Jack
Poppy and Ayrton Jack
Poppy and Arlo Jack
Poppy and Reuben Jack
Poppy and Matteo Jack
Poppy and Angus Jack

My great grandmother was a Poppy. I think it suited her well and she lived to be 94.
