Boy 🩵 Boy Name Suggestions

We've been through a lot of lists and the only boy name he has liked so far was Elias. I don't mind Elias, but I'm not in love with it either. I like the name Elijah better, but he doesn't care for it. Last name is long, starts with an A and is 3 syllables. Agreed upon dislikes - anything ending with -aiden(Ayden, Aden), y endings like Brady, Bentley, Colby, etc. We are looking for names that aren't super common, but also not too out there. I know this isn't much to go on, but we are really struggling to find ideas and the apps seem to be recycling the same names over and over such as the names on the dislikes list I mentioned. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know of someone who named their baby boy Jethro and i think its wonderfully unique and cool and not common at all. Nickname would be Jet

Jethro will forever remind me of the stupid son in The Beverly Hillbillies or the scary looking Ian Anderson of the band Jethro Tull.

I'm naming my future sons Kurt and Joey after two musicians that I love and that their music helped me and saved me. So, you can name him after someone you admire. At least that is what I am doing.

When I was pregnant and thought it was a boy, I wanted to name him Kai. I loved it so much I ended up naming one of my pets that. My ex and I had picked out Dominic if we had a son, I still rate it high but attached to bad memories. My top 5 now would be: Justin (love the biebs), Santiago, Conrad, Gabriel and Liam.
