We are struggling to think of even one name we both like. Both fairly fussy.

Criteria:

2 syllables ideally, but no more than 3.
Can't end with an M or an S
Preferably doesn't start with B, R, L
No nature names

To fit with our separate preferences, it can't be too unusual but neither can it be too strongly traditional.

Definitely not:
Henry, Arlo, Frederick, John, Ian, William, Neo, Scott, Leo

Names that one of us quite likes and the other is a bit 'meh, maybe' about:
Kester
Owen
Zeno
Ruan/Rewan
Elwyn
Quinlan
Jared
Cooper
Eisley
Gibson
Cameron
Ivan
Lennox/Lenox
Ned
Sydney/Sidney
Kitto
Lowen

If you have any suggestions please help! At the moment neither of us has anything we LOVE.
