1 syllable boys names starting with maybe D or B?

So I had lovely girls names ready but turns out we're having another DS so now I'm stumped!

For a girl I loved Dee or Dawn. I can't think of any 1 syllable boys names starting with D apart from Dom, Dave, Dan none of which I like. I also like initial B but can't think of much other than Ben which is OK but I'm not in love with.

It doesn't have to start D or B, I just like strong consonant names if you see what I mean? Sam is OK but not wow. Can't have Tom as is DH's name. Any other ideas?

Sibling is Joe and DH prefers traditional names (so nothing like Fin, Flynn, Rex, Dex, Zack)

Joe's a great name btw.

Bram short for Abraham?

Dil short for Dylan?

Ben is good, and goes with Joe. Benedict perhaps more unusual and interesting than Benjamin?

Thanks all. Quite like Luke and Max but surname starts with K so might run together a bit.

Ben and Joe do go together I agree but sound a bit like a pair of dogs somehow?

DH like Josh but I don't want 2 J names
