Boy names similar to Theo, Hugo, Romeo, Luca?

I really like these type of names for a boy but I don't feel like they're names I'd name my baby.

I'm having a difficult time coming up with boy names I adore and would use for my baby. I want it to sound strong, handsome and cool at the same time.

Could you help me think of similar boy names?

Strong, handsome & cool?

I would class as Roman as these. Definitely not Theo, which is so overused and uncool imo.

i like these suggestions:

Felix
Quentin
Matteo
Caspar
Reuben

Only Luca has an Oo sound. Hugo is Hew-go in the UK.

I don't see a connection in your list of names and don't think they sound strong, handsome or cool.

Theo - overused. Originally Greek.
Hugo- popular. Originally old Germanic.
Romeo - Originally Italian.
Luca - popular. Originally Italian.

Leo is nice.

The connection is the Oh and Oo sounds.

Theo and Luca are lovely. Don’t like Romeo or Hugo at all.

Those are very much middle class rah rah names of the last decade. Take a look at the telegraph birth announcements for inspiration of what's current.

FWIW I like:
Henry
Robin
Ezra
Nicholas
Bryn
