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"

Reuben
Lars
Dexter

These were my faves but dh has said a big fat no way to them all.
Atm we're agreeing on Ellis or Elias, probably won't last though

I like Toby - dh doesn't. Alfie has already been taken by a friend. Have thought of Wallace but think it would probably be shortened to Wally!

Glad to see it isn't just my dh that keeps sayingno to names, I was beginning to take it personally, plus he really wants another girl, so probably doesn't want to think of boys names.

My DH has got it into his head to call baby Scooby if it is a boy. Nothing I say can change his mind so now hoping for a girl so we can call her Scarlett!!!
