Another naming row!

[islandblone]

Battle has officially commenced! My DH and I are at war over a name for our expected baby boy. We spent countless hours disagreeing over names for our DD and eventually pulled Stella Joy out of a hat (no really, literally pulled it out of a hat. We couldn't agree so each chose a few favourites and picked one each).
We've got a peedie bit of time yet, ETA is middle of Feb, but the MIL is putting on the pressure to get a name sorted.
I'm keen for something a little different without being cringy or downright strange.
I've been championing:
Caspian
Ezra
Corin

DH is hoping for a local classic; Kenneth, Donald, Alexander, Magnus. All perfectly nice names, but not quite what I had in mind. I really don't want to call my son Kenny or Sandy.
Peter is already in for a middle name after my late BIL. I'd like another middle name, too, but DH isn't fussed.
Any new suggestions gratefully considered!

Xander
Fraser
Lachlan
Arlo
Rudi

I like Corin but caspian is a wee bit "out there" for me. Ezra always sounds like a girls name to me, even tho i know its not!

I second the suggestion of Xander - like Alexander for your DH but a bit more different/quirky/modern for you. You could also consider Sacha for the same reason.

Garner, Cory, Kieran, Callum, Jolyon, Logan, Maximus

Oh, also:

Jesse, Jared, Jude, Elliot, Ellis, Evan

I might nick Corin if mines a boy...

Ivor
Colin
Blaine
Doran
Isaac
Gabriel
Felix
Jasper
Lucas
Declan
Logan
Silas
Asher
Zachary
Devon
Hudson
Maxwell
Dominic
Brogan
Riordan
Cory
Cole
Tristan
Gideon
Rowan
Sullivan

Xander could be a good compromise! I quite like Elliot, too. Thanks! I'll pitch them to DH.
Pannacott, go for it! I'm not giving up on it yet, I really like it.

Brody
Innes
Struan
Keir
Reid
Hector
Caspar
Evander
Skandar

Just being nosy but I'm thinking you're in Orkney?? I'd pick a good Scottish name .

Ooooh so many lovely names! I wonder if I could convince DH on Gideon...

I hadn't considered Colin, but actually thinking on it now, I like it. That one will be an easy sell aswell, it's a "good, normal, scottish name" like DH wants. Thank you!

I quite like Colin, too. Everyone knows it but hardly anyone's called it. I've only ever known of one.

Jaytee what gave me away? If MIL had her way, he'd be Thorfinn Peter and that'd be the end of it. A proper Orcadian. Except theres 3 Thorfinns in DD class at nursery and an abundance of Finns too. Great name, too common here.

Calum , Finnian, Sholto

Donald or Kenneth would be fine if he were 85. I like Magnus and Alexander (which would be shortened to Alex not Sandy).

I prefer jasper to Casper

Alexander and xander as nn is nicest you have so far imo

Bruce
Bruno
Craig
Brian

Or Magnus nn gus

Sorley was on my list but rejected by Dh

I'm thinking Gaelic names are not your thing as it's the wrong islands!? I like Seoras, Cailean, Eachainn

Other bible names maybe? Nathaniel, Saul, Levi, Reuben

Stella and Nathaniel sound good together

Oh my god Thorfinn is the best name ever

#unhelpful

Asa
Malachi
Raymond - Ray

Narnia fan, OP?

We used a name from there.

Like be Caspian and Corin! Or how about Quentin? Or Roman?

Sorry love (silly autocorrect)

Ossian

Alexander (too popular?) and Magnus (Gus for short?) both excellent.
Caspian is OK but a bit Narnia.

I don't like Xander at all, but Al, Alec and Alex are all fine esp Alex.

Don and Ken are Ok.

No to the other suggestions made by OP.

Calum is nice.

Thorfinn! What a name!

How about Duncan?

Or Blair?
