Brother For Archer?

[sydnergy]

So we've been TTC. We just for a faint positive, so heres to hoping it's true!

Anyhow, we've been looking at names and we both loved Sterling. Only problem, well our first sons name is Archer(named before the show) and just found out the show Archer's name is "Sterling Archer"... We get a lot of comments "Oh I love that show!" when we introduce Arch, and I don't wanna seem like a nut for the show. Archer wasn't a show and wasn't top 1000 when we named him, so I'd like something along the same lines thats different but not out there.
The husband has veto'd EVERY boy idea, and said they're too "Harry Potter" and not masculine enough
Examples -
Outher (great uncles name)
Owsley
Linus
Deitrich
Ogden
Stellan
Irving
Silvio
Dimitri

What are some classics that sound masculine but aren't over used?

Kind of all over the place - but maybe one is your cup of tea? Keep is updated! Love the name Archer

Thank you for your suggestions! Love a lot of them and they make up previous lists Unfortunately either our rules- no more A names, "no -er or ie/ey endings" and needs more than 1 syllable rules out almost all that haven't been previously veto'd by the husband. Except Wilhelm, Bertram and Griffith... He ruled out other names that reminded him of sesame street, Oscar and Ernie, so Berts probably out. Griffith is an ex boyfriends last name. Wilhelm... I'm on the fence about that one

Our last name is Friend if that helps, which is why I don't like 1 syllable names, they just don't sound right...
Archer Thomas Friend is our first born's full name
