stuck on boy's names - not biblical?

I have loads of ideas for girl's names and they have met with approval from nearly everyone I've run them by. However, I am really struggling for boys. I've chosen a few names, but I wanted quite a plain middle name AND I wanted to avoid biblical names or more specifically, anything that could be used as a confirmation (Catholic) name. PIL iss-yoos... won't bore you here. To be honest, I'm not sure what the rules are on this (is it just New Testament?)...

Anyway, any suggestions very welcome! And feel free to comment on my boy's names although I already did a general names thread, so sorry if you've seen them before!

First names so far:
Leo
Sol
Miles
Theo
Jude
Ralph/Rafe

Middle names so far:
Benjamin
Alistair???
Alexander
Arthur

just choose names you and dh personally love and don't worry too much about whether it iwll annoy PIL or give them a thrill. you don't want to be cutting off your nose to spite your face and choosing a name simply because it wouldn't suit them IYSWIM. Name your dc how you want and if it happens to be a saint's name you have chosen, you simply say you like the name so you chose it despite it also being a saint's name

I think your girls name are non-Catholic, except for Thea (as it means God).

And I think ZZZZenAgain makes a very important point.
