"Girlie" names for a boy

Hello. First post here. Only just found out I'm pregnant (eight weeks), so this is all super speculative and will change loads over the next while. I also know I maybe shouldn't be making plans until the 12 week scan but it's hard not to!

DH and I like some quite old fashioned boy's names, including ones which are originally male but are also used for girls these days - Aubrey, Jocelyn are the two main ones.

Are those usable for a boy these days, or do you think he'd get bullied.

Other names we've always liked are:

Nathaniel
Dylan
Robert
Morgan
Bran
Bryn
Owain

DH is Welsh but we live in Scotland if that makes any difference. Thank you for reading!

Not keen on either Aubrey or Jocelyn tbh.

I really like Robert - strong, classic name, different options to shorten it or works really well as a complete name. Not many other Roberts about as babies or toddlers, but everyone will know the name and be able to spell it, etc.

Any of these are better than your first 2, tbh :
Nathaniel
Dylan
Robert
Morgan
Bryn
Owain

Though not Bran. that just says 'Bran flakes' to me.

I like Bryn and Morgan, after Robert.

@Dalia1989 Owain will be pronounced as 'OH-WINE' as it should, not Owen. HmmI think Robert is overused and dare I say, boring. I love Jocelyn NN Joss!
