Struggling to name a baby boy...

So, I had my beautiful girls names picked out, but we've really struggled with boys names... we don't agree on any. We found out yesterday that we're having a boy. I have no idea what we are going to call him.

I thought it might be nice if his name began with R, as OH's does, as did his Dad (Rodney... no...), and his grandpa (Richard, same as OH). OH doesn't have either parent alive ,and I thought it might be nice for him to carry something on like this.

No names are jumping out at me at all. I just can't find one that I love enough to call my little boy. Girls names were so easy!

It has to go with David as a middle name, after my lovely Daddy.

Ideas so far:
Rufus
Rowan
Reuben
Rex

Hubby only likes Rowan. But now I'm not so sure.

I'd like it to be a little unusual, but not so much so that I'd feel stupid telling someone what we chose to name our baby. I hate when people judge babies based on their name!

Well there is still Rowan Atkinson as a famous male Rowan, but yes, I also seem to see most Rowans now are girls.

I love Rufus, and Robin.

What about Rudy?

Ooooh, I really like Ryker!

Rowan is good, too. As is Rafe.

What about Ryder?
