One-syllable 'strong' boys name please

Can't find a boys name we like. Love fairly traditional names and am keen to have something 'strong' like Jack, Ben or Mark. Not keen on others like Paul, Rob, John, or on shortened versions like Matt, Pete or Tim. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have any other heritage that you'd like to reflect in names? Welsh, Irish, Swedish etc?

There are Scottish links, so the likes of Craig and Scott have obvious appeal, but don't want to get 'too Scottish' - think Hamish, Murdo, Lachlan and the like!

Kyle
Euan (one syllable in the right accent!)
Struan (too Scottish)
Keir (too Socialist Grin )
Ged (shortening once but now name in its own right)

Sorry, there should have been ?s after the comments. I don't think they're too anything.

A second to hellokitty123's Quinn - love that name, for a boy or girl.

How about Kent, Blaine or Kerr?
