Boys name shortlist - but none seem like "the one"

Hi

Our baby is due in May, and our shortlist so far is:

Jude
Jesse
Luke
Gabriel

I also like Rory but DH hates it, so that's out. This baby's brother is called Ashton.

Does anyone else have any ideas of similar types of boys names? I do prefer names that aren't hugely popular. (when ds was born, Ashton was unheard of - there's a big age gap between him and this baby)

Thank you!

I love love love Jude but might be a little biased as I have one of my own, I saw the title and was about to suggest the name myself then saw it was on your short list already Grin

Nicknames for my Jude were noodle doodle doo when he was a baby but now he's 5 he's either Boo or Jude and he doesn't have any complaints, it's unusual enough that there aren't any others in his school but we still meet the occasional 1 or 2.

I also love Jesse but I guess the breaking bad phenomenon will make it a bit more commonly used ( but not common )
