Boys name you weren’t quite brave enough to use?

Struggling to think of another boys’ name. I like names that aren’t super popular - so i’d love to hear your boy name choices that maybe were ever-so-slightly too “out there” for you to use!

Kaspian (Kasper). It wasn't that I wasn't brave enough to use it (despite a few eye rolls from friends), but when I went for my 4d scan, my son just didn't look like that would suit him. He's now a Gabriel!

Other names I had were Rafael, Karsten and Evan....though I don't think they are too "out there".

Aeneas. DH said it was too close to "anus" and put me right off it. Still love the way Aeneas looks, though.

Also a couple of ancient saint's names, in particular Drostan.
