Help! Short-ish boys names??

Just found out I'm having a boy! We've got a while to find a name for him yet but it's looking like I'm going to need every minute.😂

DD's name is short and begins with V, so we don't really want another V name. She has both our surnames (22 letters long in total), so we really need to keep our son's first and middle names shortish too.

We really like Linus and Amos, but neither feels as perfect as DD's name did when we discovered it well before she was born, so we're still hunting. I'm guessing we may not be so lucky this time! We also really like Virgil but as it's another V name and too close to 'virgin' for the school bullies, we've ruled it out. 😭

Hoping to find something short and uncommon but not outlandish. Any suggestions?!

Heard of a baby called Moss today. I quite like it.
I also like Foxx

I knew a Moss. It was short for Moses. Joss is nice too.
