Boys names not in the top 100

[MrsGmumma]

I need inspiration. My youngest, Jake (Jacob), is getting a little brother in the summer. None of the top 100 stand out for me. I’m not against the alternative/unusual names or traditional either. I have no preference. But I can’t think of many I like. I have a short list. Hoping some of you may have some suggestions I can hear? I like a name that’s at least two syllables and can be shortened 😊

Bowels 🤣🤣🤣? Was that a typo?

Jacob and

Eli
Ezra
Joel
Patrick
Stellan
Flynn
Corin

Bowels!!! WTF. Yes that must have been an autocorrect but I can’t remember what I suggested?! What would autocorrect to Bowels?!?!

OP don’t call him Bowels. It doesn’t even go with Jacob 🤣

Nathaniel is the name that immediately sprang to mind - matches with Jacob as it's biblical too, well known but outside top 100, and "fits in" with other popular names (Samuel, Gabriel, Daniel). But do Jake and Nate sound too odd together? Other ideas:
Elias (nn Eli)
Zachary (Jake and Zach sound cool but Zachary is top 100 )
Nicholas (nn Nico or Cole)
Christopher (nn Kit)
Robert (nn Bertie or Rob)
Asa (nn Ace)

If you decide not to go for Bowels might I suggest

Ross
Simon
Nathan (rather than Nathaniel)
Peter

Robert

Malachi
Nathaniel
Samuel
Jonas
Pascoe
Lucas

Joshua. For short Josh

Carl is nice to without the K
Samuel
James

These might be in the top 10 names for boys so sorry if they are I'm not that up on baby names .

Rollo
Rio
Christopher
Jonathan
Rocco
Oscar
Barnaby
Edwin

At least 2 syllables, can be shortened, to fit well with sibling Jake (Jacob) and not top 100 but not too far 'out there':
Joshua (Josh)
Adam (Ade)
Richard (Ricky or Rich or Rick)
Arthur (Artie or Art)
Robin or Robert (Rob or Robbie)

Going to stop there as Jacob and Arthur is blocking my thoughts. Such a nice combination: Jake and Artie.

If you are looking at the top 100 on the ONS spreadsheet www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalesbabynamesstatisticsboys , they have a separate tab with every name that's been used more than 3 times in the UK in 2019.
