Need a name for 2nd son!

My husband and I are expecting our second son, and are having a really hard time picking a name. Our first son's name is Owen, and I would like a name that goes with that, however we haven't found a single name that we like. My husband is very picky about the name, he doesn't want anything too "cute", it has to be a "strong" name. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to help us out. We would really appreciate it!

Does he prefer vowel-y names like Owen, or would he be open to something spikier like Conrad, Cormac, Declan, etc.?

Slightly softer:

Liam

Lochlan

Desmond

Thank you for these suggestions. There are several that I really like, and have previously ran by my husband. I never imagined it would be so hard to agree on a name.

We almost named DS 2 Owen. We went with Pierce and I think Pierce and Owen would make a great sibset. Other suggestions: Grant, Noel, Brooks, Cole, Graham, Leo, Miles, Reed/ Reid.

Our LO is Roman Alexander, and "strong" is the #1 adjective people use when they comment on it to us. We love his name.

Other names on our list: Henry, Nathan, David, Sebastian, Jude, Rhys, Cormac, and Sawyer

My DS1 is Owen.  For DS2 our favorites are Miles/Milo, Grant, or Oscar.  See siggy for others.
