A brother for Genevieve

Hi everyone. So we found out it's a boy! But I can't think of any boys' names I like that meet my admittedly quite strict criteria. Basically, we have a very common, single syllable surname, so figured we could go a little bit fancy with the first names, hence Genevieve, which we love. It's recognisably a name, not crazy or naff, but not common nowadays either. So I'm looking for a similar kind of boys' name. Nothing beginning with a J sound (I don't want them all matchy-matchy) and nothing that makes me sound ridiculously posh when I'm calling them together in the park (think "Genevieve! Cosmo!")

Please help! If we can't come up with something we both like, I'm going to come under serious pressure to name the boy after my father-in-law - lovely man, awful name...

The first name that came into my mind was Monty?

I have a J named child and a G named child and I have to say it is a bit awkward at times. It doesn't really matter but I still stumble over their names on occasion (and they are nearly adults)

I love the name Genevieve.

Gabe, Max or Marcus would be fabulous with your daughter's name.
