Recognisable but uncommon boy names please!

[Firsttimebabymummy]

Brother for Alexandra. Prefer traditional/ classic feel.
Alexandra was perfect as lots of nn options, not too popular and not too out there. We like the Regal feel.
The names don't need to 'match' but this gives you an example of what we like.

Really struggling with boys names so open to any suggestions you can think of please!

So far we like Frederick but feel it's too popular.
Maverick as an alternative- not sure.
James- we both love the name but have a negative association.
Jonathan
Sullivan
Matthew
Timothy- but is alliteration with surname.

Can't use Louis, Christopher, Edward, George or William.

Not so keen on 'ie' names such as Alfie and Archie.

Names from that Christopher/Timothy era:

Michael
Mackenzie
Nicholas
David
Simon
Nathaniel
Roderick
Gabriel
Douglas
Hugh/Hugo
Robert
Dominic
Victor
Samuel
Joseph
Patrick

Jonathan or Matthew go very well with Alexandra

What about:

Benjamin
Dominic
Francis
Joseph
Laurence
Nicholas
Michael
Edmund
Nathaniel
Philip
Robert
Samuel
Thomas
Patrick
Zachary

Maurice
Lucien
Fabian

What @Firebird83 said 😄
I really like Sullivan.
Laurence nn Laurie is lovely too.

Sullivan and Sebastian are great and go well with Alexander.

Douglas nn Dougie is cool too

I see Sullivan as poles apart from Alexandra, but then I am Irish so see it as a surname.
O’Sullivan is a very common surname where I live.

Hugh?

I think Maverick is totally out of keeping with Alexander!

Frederick is lovely but if you really feel it is too popular (but is it?) how about Harold or Harald, Harry for short?

Walter. I was thinking the other day it's overdue a come back.

Christian
Phillip
Francis
Stephen or Stefan
Nicholas
Dominic
Edmund
Robert
Julian
Rupert
Patrick
Quentin
Barnaby

I love Gabriel with ‘Gabe’ for short.

Ernest

Edward or Eduardo
Spencer
Anton
Lorenzo
Joseph

Peter
Victor
Laurence
Solomon
Abraham

Alvin
Simon
Theodore

I like Hillary.

Horatio
Benedict
Tarquin
Francis
Lucian
Tristan
Oberon
Atlas
Lysander

Maverick and Sullivan are nothing like Alexandra and are definitely not traditional/classic/regal.

Julian
Nathaniel
Alistair
Robert
Philip
Quentin
Hugo
Rupert
Laurence
Dominic
Marcus
Edmund

Nicholas
Philip
George
William
Henry
Charles
going with the regal theme here
Albert

Or Sigmund (Ziggy)

I really like Sullivan. Love James. Hate Maverick.

Sullivan is a surname to me.

Maverick is a word with a meaning. Like calling a child ‘Rebel’ or ‘Anarchist’.

How about Magnus, Caleb, Archibald, Lucas, Arthur.

I have an Alexandra. Our list of potentials for her little brother included:
Theodore
Christopher
Samuel
Charles

I love the previous suggestions of Dominic and Benedict.

Also:

Hugo
Miles
Phillip

Reuben

Philip
Richard
Samuel
