Help naming a brother for Blake

Hi all,

I'm due imminently and we still can't agree on a name so after any suggestions, feel like I have been through Google and all lists so much but nothing seems right. We have quite a long surname so shorter first names are better. We didn't choose Blake's until after he was born as struggled the same but love the name so much and how it's not very common but not too out there.

Also need a middle name, we are very stuck! Have some maybe's I'll list below but nothing seems right and we definitely don't agree on any!

Jesse
Frankie
Rueben
Riley
Jenson
Leo

But again trying to avoid anything too common nowadays so Leo is probably out. Thanks for any help!

How about Chase, Cole, Finn or Drew? Would you prefer one syllable to match your firstborn, or two to contrast?

End of the alphabet but I met a little boy named Sonny recently, and thought it was darling.

Reuben (that sp)
Nico
Saul
Evan
Angus (Gus)

I like Ludo, and Luca, but with Blake it’s a bit heavy on the L sound.

We also had Flynn and Miles as options and husband like Xander but I think I'd prefer something from the first section of the alphabet just because our surname is towards the end.

Love the name Blake! Jesse is my favourite from your list.

Also like Max, Leon instead of Leo, Alec, Gray, Xavier, Nash, Flynn, Pierce or Myles.
