Ophelia for a girl but what for a boy?

Just found out this morning that we are having a boy, but so far haven't managed to agree on a boys name. I'm 32 weeks.

I like under used names but nothing too odd. Can't start with a B due to surname starting with an O.

Any suggestions welcome.

I will suggest Quentin and Willoughby to hubby.

Really like some of the other suggestions but have used some already (older boys) and some hubby has already said no to.

Thankyou everyone.

Some great suggestions already but I really like Quentin (slightly biased as we have one Smile), Casper, Marcus and Reuben.

Good luck!
