Help!! Looking for Catholic saint names for a little boy.

Names we like:

Wilfrid (too popular?)
Oswald
Bartholomew (too similar to our son's name)
Herbert

I love Ambrose and Augustine but DH not sold for a first name, likes for middle name

Very open to suggestion!

Thanks for suggestions so far - lots are actually family names already.
We prefer something a little less popular.
I like Pascal, Bede and Dunstan.

My little boy was named after the archangel Raphael. I absolutely adore it and it’s always complimented on. So many lovely names suggested from other posters. Hope you find one you love ❤️
