We're stuck for boys names! Help?!

With the fast approaching arrival of our first child; me and my lovely fiancé are stuck for boys names.

The only name we can agree on is Elliot but after that we're stuck. He has no real opinions on names until I suggest some so it's pointless asking him for his ideas. I prefer longer names that can be shortened for a nickname but would welcome any name ideas. I'd love some names to suggest to my lovely fiancé to see if we can find some options for our little boy.

Thanks in advance!

Elliot is a nice name. I always think Julian and William are of a similar nature.

Elliot was on my shortlist. Also had Nathaniel, Zachary, Benjamin, Evan, Euan, Alexander and Jonathan if that helps. But Elliot is a lovely name.

Thank you all so much!

@BikeRunSki - it's not that we can't use Elliot, it's just we'd like some options just in case he doesn't 'look' like an Elliot if you understand what I mean?
