Three week old DS doesn't have a name, fed up of him being 'baby'!

DS is now three weeks old and we're getting to the stage where finding a name is desperate! Before he was born it was pretty much decided that he would be either Seamus, Marcus or Fergus. However, he just doesn't 'feel' like any of those names. Ciaran and Alexander were also possibilities but just aren't him. So could you lovely MNers through some great names at us? We like older names and also Gaelic names - the help would be much apprieciated!
Almost forgot, middle name is needed too.

How about one of your previous options as a mn, e.g. Alexander? Or any family names you could use for mn?

Snowbeetle, DS2 is a Flynn! I really like Ethan and Ewan but DS1 is Eric and I don't want another 'E' name. Please keep them coming, you've been fab!

Patrick is great, except it's BIL's name. I really like Aaron actually, and Aidan come to think of it.

My DS3 is a Marcus. With DS2 we didn't name him for about a week and so with DS3 we decided we would definitely make a decision straight away. TBH he didn't 'feel' like a Marcus for ages...it's quite a grown-up name for a newborn. But he's 18 mo now and we can't imagine him being anything else.

How about Alexander with Sandy or Xander as nicknames they might suit him better

Francis

Sandy was our chosen nn for Alexander, but he came out with lovely brown hair! Not massively keen on the other nicknames.
Rufus is a great name, as is Hamish but I'm not brave enough!
Should add that we have a Lana as well.

I second Magnus - a great name.

Lochlainn?

Oisin? (Pronounced Osheen)

Fiachra?
