Ds thinks we should call the baby "torture" - anybody have any better ideas for a boy's name?

I know there have been so many boys' names threads recently, but we are totally stuck. We have a name if the baby (due in 3 weeks) is a girl, but cannot agree on a name for a boy...

Anything considered...apart from "torture"

Herod, hilarious... you wouldn't want him as a babysitter...
as it happens one of my pals has just called her wee boy Laurie, which is pleasant and has a bit of a scottish, two-syllable thing going on.
