More name ideas needed...

We feel pretty set on our girl options.
It's the boy names that are eluding us at the moment...so I thought I'd check in with the experts and see if you can do better than we've done.

We'd love to name after some beloved relatives...so I am really looking for boy ideas that start with the letter R or D.
We tend toward old-fashioned names and try to steer clear of the top 100.
So far we have Rory and Rowan but are definitely looking for more ideas.

Any ideas?
Thanks for thinking!

My DH is Ron (he is 26 years old), (Ronald) you never hear that one anymore! LOL. I have a friend who just named their son Dwight. Not sure I am a fan, but to each their own. Let's see, some that I personally might use? Ryan, Roy, Dylan, David, Robert.... most of these are common for our age but not so much for the new generation.

Dale... I rarely hear that, though its my fathers middle name. In the early 1900s it was one of the top boy names and now its nearly fallen off the chart altogether!

I like Dean.

It would have been our boy name (we are having a girl) except our last name starts with O' and I didn't want our kid to end up being a Deano.
