Help! Any boys names for a Turkish/Scottish family?

We are really struggling to come up with a baby boys name, I’m Turkish and my husbands family is Scottish. We’d love a name that’s inspired by one of our cultures and works well in both languages/accents etc. E.g something like Isla/Ayla but baby boy equivalent! Any help would be much appreciated thank you ❤️

I know a couple who are middle eastern/Scottish and they chose Ruhi for their boy which I think is lovely.

Hamza, heroic, brave and strong, like Hamza Yassin, the Scottish wildlife cameraman.

Kemal.
As in Mustapha Kemal Attaturk.
It also sounds a bit Scottish.

I know a Turkish / Scottish man called Haris which I always thought worked well

To help, some names that we both like are Kyan, Luca, Ezra, Rafe, Leo, Callan. But not quite 100% on any of them.
