Struggling to decide on boys names

Hi all,

About to give birth to my second son and really struggling to settle on a name. Eldest is called Tobias (Toby for short). Husband quite keen on Jolyon but I think it might be a bit out there!

Thomas, Alexander and Nicholas all on the cards but I'm not sure if I like the abbreviations for these names (Tom, Alex, Nick) with Toby. Brain is just stuck in a pregnancy fog, can't think clearly.

Any inspiration much appreciated.

Last night I dreamt the name Dominic Wickley Ed which is bizarre as I have no recollection of having seen the name Wickley ever! BUT Wickley IS a boys' name!

Rupert is a good name alongside Tobias, as is Tristan or Tristram.

Meant to add that I thought, Jolen hair removal cream when I read Jolyon. Julian sounds similar?
Or, how about Lucien? It's the French form of Luke and means light.

How about Isaac? I think someone suggested Zachary, and both could be shortened to Zac(k), which works well with Toby IMO.

Julius (Jules)
Gabriel (Gabe)
Raphael (Raffy or Rafe)

Oh yes Zachary or Izaak go really well with Toby. Toby and Zack. Rolls off the tongue.
