French names for boys

Hello! Baby imminent and I want to make sure I haven't missed any excellent French names (personal link) for boys.

I'm not into the real classics like Pierre/Jacques, but do love those like Pascal, Lucien, Loïc, Yves...

Any interesting suggestions?

I have no idea how old/young/popular/cool it is, but I have always liked Stephan.

Etienne, no idea if it's nice or not just fell madly in love with one. Sounds beautiful in English

@Blondiney the name or the falling in love? If the latter sadly it wasn't reciprocated.
