Give me suggestions for boys' names that I won't have considered already!

Help! Really struggling with DS2 name.
DS1 name begins with J (we both loved it long before knowing we were having a boy) so would prefer to avoid J-names.

I have scoured the baby name stats for years and still have yet to find one I love. Nothing too trendy and willing to re-consider 'classics'. It can't be an adjective due to our surname!

Currently on the shortlist:
Arthur (which I love but DH has nixed)
Lysander - not sure it feels 'natural' to me to say it
Auberon
Albion
Ezra - bit hipster?
Stellan
Adriel
Etienne - would feel a bit poncey as neither of us are French
Ptolemy - always thought this was a great name but am shying away from actually using it
Orion - too hippyish with our surname
We think the default would probably be Alexander. I do really like the name but it's fairly common and we have a couple of friends called Alex.

Friends have got an Albert, plus I'm not as keen! I could just have Albie but I'm in the 'full official name that can be shortened' camp plus it initially had connotations of a creepy character from Big Love (I watch too much tv, obviously).

Alban is nice too, but I think of St Albans and Dr Alban then fall into a Damon Albarn --> all-bran wormhole. One to consider, though, esp as could be nn Albie!

I do like Gideon. Would many people associate it with George Osborne?

😮 Sorry slipped a "J" name in there, by accident !

Edgar?

Leander
Sacha
Giles
Maxim

Someone at school called their son Albion and my DH asked me if they were racists.
He might just be a weirdo and nobody else would consider it, but he thought because it meant ancient Britain and maybe had something to do with white he assumed they were xenophobes.

Stellan is fab though I would assume you were a bit Scandinavian.

Laighean pronounced Lane

Meep I had actually wondered about that side of it too. Felt like I might be metaphorically waving a St George's flag.

Laighean my husband would never in a million years learn how to spell this!

I like Gideon. I wouldn't associate it George O. He'll make it his own anyway.
