Help with naming another boy!

I am currently expecting another Boy we had a firm girls name, but nothing we are convinced on for a Boy. Our son is Archer, and we would be looking for another A name, that is fairly unique, but not too out there. Suggestions welcome!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Arlo

Cool name!

I know an Atlas and an Atticus - both get called Atti which is cute.

I like Angus (Gus) and Asher, though far too close to Archer!

Abraham?
Aurelio?

Average 😂It would sound ok as a name if it didn’t have its meaning

Afton - it's rising in popularity for boys.

Andrew
You never meet kids called Andrew anymore and it's lovely

Shame about the prince of the same name.

I like Atticus. Also Amias, Apollo Aulus Arion or Achilles

Love Apollo, but it was a firm no from my husband!

Alastair - is also a name that’s not popular with children so will be the only one.
