I know that doesn't really narrow it much, but there you have it. LOL. Ever since I read C.S. Lewis's Prince Caspian when I was a little girl, I kept that on my list for boys' names. I never knew anyone else who had that one on their list before!

The predominant theme I see is (and this is no insult) Little Old Man names. *laugh* And I love a lot of them! Here are my personal favorites:

Abel (this was on our list and may still crop up as a mn--LOVE the nn Abe!)
Angus (though I love Fergus more)
Callum
Dexter (very hip, very funky.)
Elijah (or Elisha, or simply Eli...they're all good.)
Ephraim (on the mn list)
Ezra (used it as a mn for our son)
Felix
Frederick
Jack (I know it's popular, but the ultimate Everyman name to me. A Jack can be anything.)
Micah
Moses
Malachi (love the nn Mac for this)
Rupert
Sean
Seth
Simon (or, for a twist, the more German Simmon.)
Theodore
Thomas
Tobias (though I prefer Tobin)
Tristan
Willem (we have friends with a Willem...very handsome.)

A few of the others are too nicknamey for me--Alfie (too Michael Caine/Jude Law as a given name,) Archie (though I love Archer,) Bruno (this was Bruce Willis' nn and he made an album using it, so that's all I can think of--well, that and hitmen...). And a few are very soft and continental and don't appeal to me--Julian, Fabian, Etienne, Louis, Miles. But you have a great list of names to work from and find what suits your family down to the core.
