If you like granny names for girls, what would you pick for a boy..?

Think we are down to a shortlist of two boys names (as mentioned in previous thread). These are Felix and Oscar. I love the name Felix but am worried it is too out there and also the cat connection is in the back of my mind...dont want ds's name to attract negative attention. Also grandparents hate it! Should I go for it anyway seeing as how dh and I love it? Is the cat connection that bad? Oscar I also love but feel it is the safer choice.

Do you have any other boy name suggestions we maybe haven't thought of? (dd has a granny type name so that gives indication of taste). Gentle honesty please!!

Having said that, an Oscar we know has a Fraser as a brother, and I like that...

I can think of 3 Oscars that friends have had recently and keep coming across them at baby groups. Felix def less common where I live anyway (and actually I think oscar is more of a cat's name!)
Sorry I'm rubbish at coming up with suggestions though!
