Strong, unusual boys names.

We have just found out that DC3 is in fact DS1!

DDs are Hazel & Celeste.

Looking for some help with boys names.

The main criteria are:

  • must be strong, nothing cutesy, no ie/y endings.
  • absolutely not 'trendy'
-ideally not top 100- this bothers DH more than me.

Surname is quite snappy and begins in M.

My list so far:

  • Mark (not convinced this works with surname)
  • HUGH, I adore this, DH thinks it is a 'fat kids name' Hmm
  • Andrew
  • Gideon

Names I love but cannot use include Peter and John.

Thoughts on the above, other ideas??

Elijah (Eli)
Abraham
Darwin
Luther

(Eli is DS2, and the others were contenders for if DD1 was a DS3!)
