Having twins and we have the girl's name picked but can't think of one for the boy

I am 23+2 with twins; a boy and a girl. We have our baby girl's name picked, she'll be called Poppy. But we cannot agree on a boy's name. His middle name will be Jack regardless, but can't think of a first name. Jack sadly isn't an option for his first name as my nephew is named that.

We liked Oliver but have gone off it.
We have mentioned Freddie briefly but neither of us love it. Same with Teddy.

Any suggestions are welcome 😊

James?

Poppy and James
then he'd be James Jack - I love JJ as an initial combination though. It can work as a nickname.

Peter? Depends if you like the matching P or not.

Elliot goes well with Poppy and Jack.

William too.

I would ask jacks parent/s if they minded if you used the name. Due to blended family we have a big jack and little jack - was weird at first but now no-one thinks of it. Unless this cousin is someone you see everyday - maybe cousin jack might be flattered
