Which unusual or old fashioned boy names would you use if you were given free rein and no negative judgement was allowed? (I’ll make another thread for girls names)

I love Tycho and Darwin.

I still love it but DH was having none of it.

Our DS has a different name that I love equally though and “fits” better with our DDs’ names so it all worked out.
