Why are boy names so difficult?

Hi all,

please can you help pick out a few options for our baby due in August? We've trawled so many lists and still can't agree.

I'm averse to calling them any names of boys I went to school with, which happen to be the kind of names DH likes.
Also wish to avoid anything ending y or ie due to surname.

Girls names have been chosen for years.

Will be a sibling to Tristan Jack (nearly 3) and Jasper & Jake (born sleeping).

Any ideas would be much appreciated x

@October2020 I'd happily use August any other time if the year... have no wish to go that overdue though and feel it would be tempting fate x

I think Dominic, Quentin and Sebastian go really well with Tristan.

Dominic’s been earmarked though.

I like Guy, I've met two adult ones, one was lovely and the most recent colleague is a tad arrogant which puts me off.

I also really like Benedict, as long as it wasn't shortened to Ben (though not sure how I could prevent it).

Also like the Welsh spelling of Huw but not sure if it would be odd with having no discernible Welsh links x
