Left wing boy baby name ideas?!

Hi- does anyone have any left wing historical/political boys name ideas? I'm having a boy in August and after some ideas!
My DH is French so ideally the name needs to work in French too...

Thanks!

I came on to say Keir - lovely name, not too common but not too out-there!

"Left wing" name? Seriously?

Call him Marx and be done with it. Do you really think your child's name is the best shopfront for your political beliefs?

Fabian. Sounds a bit French too.

Nye, Karl, Leon.

I don't see why a name that honours your beliefs is any worse than when people ask for 'strong sounding' or 'classic' or 'unusual' names, or names that can be shortened to FiFi or whatever!
