Help with boys names...

We’re stuck. DH is Muslim, so looking for an acceptable name for his culture, but not one which could lead to future discrimination, i.e. on a CV.

Our current favourites a Gabriel and Xavier. While I like them I am not in love with them.

I like Noah, Eshan, Kaleb, Tobias and Joshua. DH hates them.

Adam, Daniel, Sam, Zac, Zayne, Cameron, Laith are out too, due to them being relatively common in our friends/family circle.

Any suggestions? At this rate on boys names, I’m hoping for a girl!?!

I'd rule out Gabriel and Xavier. Xavier would make me think of Francis Xavier, a RC saint. Gabriel is Jibril, but runs into the current trend for OT names.
Adam would be fine, but is out for you.
I'd be inclined to go for Idris or a neutral name you both like.
