Help with boy names

Hey! This is my first time posting..

I have a son called Nicholas and am due my second in October.

I had so many girls names that I love but am really struggling with boy names!

In the end my partner ended up choosing Nicholas for my first because I just couldn't come up with any..

I don't know if its just me but boys names are kinda boring and all the same .. I see so many Luca/Leo/Theo/Arlo/Alfie or more classic names like George/James etc..

I don't want anything that unusual, but also don't want my boy to be one of many in his class the same .. I would be so grateful if you could share some boys names that you love!

Nicholas was chosen as a December baby, and baby 2 is due in October so kind of want to go with something autumnal sounding that also sounds good with Nicholas x

Nicholas is a lovely underused classic

i think these would be great names for a brother:
Quentin
Dominic
Reuben
Zachary

@17caterpillars1mousemy 2nd and 3rd children are called Nikolas and Gregory!! Spelling of Nikolasdue to my Greek heritage.

I love Nicholas.
Jasper suggested above - the stone has Autumnal colours so that is a link. Agree that Luke is nice for an October boy and works well with Nicholas.
