Help boys names, unusual but not made up!

We are trying to come up with a boys name. It is impossible, I have enough girls names for 8 children but none that I love for a boy.

If DD had been a boy she'd have been a Noah Finlay. It is now to common for us.

DH likes Nelson and Jasper and I do but I don't love them like I did my daughters name or any of my chosen girls names!.

We are looking for something that is unusual, cool and cute but not made up like Storm.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Digby (I Heart this so much but have been banned three times now) or Monty or Sebastian?

Gosh awful typos sorry!. Pavel and Tariq seem a little comical to me I'm afraid.

Roman?
Milo?

I like Otto too and if I have another son, I think I might name him after my grandfather:Otto Gustav Maxmillian. Now that's a name!

What about welsh names? We have a Rhidian and haven't yet come across another one of either spelling (Rhidian/Rhydian) despite living in Wales. My friend's son is called Caelan, which I think is gorgeous and would probably have used myself if she'd not got in first!

I want a Magnus, but am yet to convince DP (or even pregnant).

LOVE this thread!

but sorry, Malachy will always remind me of Children of the Corn. Otherwise it would have been DS/s name
