Got a girl name all picked out but really, really struggling with boys. There are 0 names I absolutely love, 0 names I really like, just a list of names I kind of like. Need help :(

My only criteria is outside top 100, pref outside top 500 - and I'm in America so the most popular vary wildly from the UK.

Here is my list of "meh I guess if push came to shove I would pick one of these out of a hat" - comments welcome and suggestions HUGELY appreciated. I suppose I like literary inspired names and some nature names.

Silas
Beckett
River
Julian
Jude
Theo (number 700-odd in US popularity!)
August (tacky if born in July? Or indeed August?)
Sawyer
Quinn
Jett
Beau
Toby
Sage

Not a fan of Heath, sadly. It reminds me too much of the candy bar and I would be constantly asked if I called him after Heath Ledger (Americans assume any unusual celeb name = must have been named after said celeb)

CheerfulYank, Jim Bob is cute, isn't it? Confused

I've heard Otis is not looked on favorably in the US, like the UK.

Castor? Confused

OP, Toby and Jude are good names. Especially Jude.

Or Noah?

I love Noah it would be my number 1, but it's number 5 on popularity list here so it's a no go for me.

I love Julian and Quinn. How about Marcus or Julius if you want to go a bit Roman?

Henry, Quinn and Julian are lovely. Also like suggestion of Marcus, or how about Quentin or Tristan?
