Second son name help

Okay let's see what we can come up with. Limitations!

Preferably no super biblical names, dad doesn't like ones that are obviously biblical. I tend to like the more extravagant ones.

Must have nickname options, honestly nickname may be more important. I know a lot of people don't like nicknames. Where I'm from the child will have a nickname, it's inevitable and I don't feel like fighting it. I could give up a one syllable name and it would turn into a two syllable name for people to modify it. I've known Edens, James, Tracey's, and all kinds of short names that have still ended up with nicknames.

We're both picky in different ways. Vibe and feeling are what stands out the most to us which doesn't help. We love lesser used names, but don't want it to be completely out there.

Names we both like are Nathaniel, Persues, Evander and Alistair. Perseus and Alistair feel unusable to us - but are still in the running - Persues because we feel it's too much. Alistair because we can only think of Al for a nickname, or AJ if we used a J middle and he dislikes AJ, I'm not a huge fan of Al. Nathaniel is our first child's name. Evander we can't use.

Names I like. Ezekiel, Malachi, Zachariah, Arlo, Everett, Everest, Ellis, Zephyr, Xavier, Zander, Rhys, Nolan, Ambrose, Draven

I tend to like long extravagant, or short cute. I tend to like names that start with E, and am fond of the nickname Zee.

At the end of the day I get more say, which has me a bit frazzled. Our son has his favorite boy name, and while I love it if we have a girl he's picked the name there. So he's pretty much said it's up to me as long as he doesn't hate it. That said he likes to joke, and loves references. He's accidentally ruined several names. Jeremiah was a bullfrog, Zeke the Geek, Nolan the Liar, Arlo Arlong, Otto Octavious. I know it's going to be difficult to find a name that there are no references too, and if I like the name enough I'll get over it - Ezekiel would still be in the running if it weren't for more complicated issues of my own doing. But so far I haven't found one I love enough that withstand his jokes when he finds them.
