Boys name help!

We are not finding out the baby's sex and have a clear favourite for girls but really struggling with boys.

Key criteria are

  • Known but not too common
  • Works internationally
  • Not starting with A or S/Z
  • typically prefer German / Scandi type names (family heritage/surname)

Below are the ones on the shortlist but none feel quite right.

Finn
Frederik
Ivo
Jacob
Otto
Christian
Henry

Any help much appreciated!

Some of these are the names of the DC of friends who are Scandi/German, so might not be traditionally from there but are associated in my mind with those places:

Casper / Kasper
Jenson
Nico / Niko
Mattias / Mathias / Matthias
Magnus
Benedikt
Karl / Carl
Leif
Mikel
Conrad / Konrad
Carsten
Maxim
Elias
Hugo
Leon
Otis
Rudy
Fabian
Gabriel
Adrian
Jonas
Linus
Tomas
Julius
Valentin
