Love Magnus/Marcus type names. Also, love Hugo - good name for a little one and a grown man.

Also like:

Rowan, Gilbert, Ira and Saul.

Hamish
Dexter
Dorian

Marcus - VERY under used and quite lovely!

Shame about those names, they are some gorgeous ones there.

Some more ideas:
Rafferty, Orson, Matteo, Matthias, Silas, Fergus, Soren, Zephyr, Amos, Miles, Calvin, Joachim, Quentin?

Have met a Milo and a Hugo recently, love Quinn but could be confusing with Fin as you say. Know a Patrick called Paddy, very sweet for a little boy. Not much help though as your DH says no though!

Patrick shortened to Paddy. That gives you options when you're fed up of people saying, as if they are the first one ever to say it "Oooh look, Paddy's having a paddy!"

Sorted.

Cole, Harvey, Tristan, Timothy, Nigel.
John, Ralph, Miko.

Tell us what names your DH proposes so we can figure out where your tastes converge.

All lovely names.

I particularly like Quinn, Hugo and Austin.
