What's in a name?

As we don't know what flavor of baby we're getting, we need to have at least 2 names in reserve. If it's a girl, we're going to name her after my mother. If it's a boy....we've got a problem. I have 2 names that I prefer but my partner loathes one. He is OK with the other but feels there must be some "dark horse candidate" out there that will sweep us both of our feet. To that end, I have been soliciting names. This morning I received an email from a friend in Sweden with a list of popular Swedish names. Perhaps we should go with one of these?

Oscar
Anton
Emil
Alexander
Lucas
Simon
Linus
Albin
Jonathan
Isak
Gustav
Adam
Marcus
Rasmus
Sabastian
