Girl would have been Annie - but it's a boy?

Hiya I'm 30 weeks pregnant and have no short list. I have 4 children already and this will be my third boy. If he was a girl he would have been Annie.
I find boys names impossible, my husband likes quite traditional names, I tend to lean towards either vintage grandad names or slightly on the boho side.

I like Bodhi - DH would never agree
If I was cooler I quite like nature names - River, Hunter, Forrest and Oakley for example - although I couldn't pull anything like that off lol.

What might I like? Hit me with all the ideas - obvious and not xx

@alotoftutus Teddy is a really nice name

For a toddler, yes. An adult, not so much. Please put Edward, Edmund or Theodore on the BC!

Thank you,

Favourites so far from the above are

Ralph - although generally prefer more than one syllable

Freddie

Teddy - love Teddy for a baby / child but can't imagine it on a grown man, and not a massive lover or Ted.

Arthur

My other boys names end with an er /ah sound, not that this one has to be the same but might give some ideas.
