French boy names/ boy names that work on French

Please help us name our baby boy who is currently nameless at a few weeks old!

We have French heritage but live in the UK. We would like names that work in French but aren't super French iyswim. For example, we like Thibault but it seems very French for a child who is likely to live in the UK for good.

Otherwise our top names are Felix and Caspar (not Gaspard). We like them but they seem a little trendy (esp caspar, plus cass sounds like the word 'to break' in French).

So please help us with any suggestions you have! Thanks!

Think they might be Breton not French. Was going to suggest Azzedine and Sufyan but think they are Algerian names.

I like Ludo but DH not so much. What would you think of Ludo as a full name?
