Boy's names (beware, I'm incredibly picky!)

Just as the title says!
Having a hard time agreeing on a name with my partner, but that's another story!
A name I loved originally for months was Freddie. But unfortunately he just wouldn't agree to it. Believe it or not despite love the name Freddie, I actually don't like old traditional names! I grew up with a lot of Jamie's, Jonathan's, Tom's, Ben's, none of which I like either! And you can search through the most popular names and bet that I don't like any of them either Confused

The current favourite now is Rubén Jorge. Using the Spanish language as a nod to previous ancestors in my family. Would love to have some other Spanish options but I can't really find any others I like! If I'm unsuccessful, then that will hopefully be his name.
Another name I love is Roman but unfortunately I already know a few little Roman's, one mum of which is a lady that unfortunately we don't really get on with! Confused

Any suggestions you might think I like are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Téodor?

Shouldn't the title of this thread have been

Boys' names (I'm incredibly prickly)...? Hmm People are trying to help you and you're being right snarky!

(Beware I'm incredibly prickly), that should've been.

How about... Rafael, Xavier, Jago, Felipe, Vincent?

Wow, I know hormones can make for an interesting baby name thread. But seriously? Things are a bit sensitive.

I appreciate searching for an unusual name, but choosing a spelling and pronunciation subtly different from that commonly used will mean lots of mis pronunciations and spelling.

LexyLouB I love that! Thanks.

VelvetRuby - Nico is cute, hadn't thought of that!

TenThousandSpoons - I love that, as 'Theo' was originally on my list, but I do love that as an alternative too.

Charlyn - love Rafael Smile

CrabbyTheCrabster and Tilder -
Yes I acknowledged that I was being a bit over sensitive and apologised.

is it due at easter? what about Pasqual, with nn Pasco. Paco is too Rabanne! But Pasco is a Portuguese form of Pasqual. It would make a good nn.

Again, not spanish, but Roscoe would seem to suit your European taste but could sound like a brother to a Freddie too.
