Help, I've accidentally started a tradition and struggling for a name for baby #6

Boy Names
1

So with my first two babies, I gave them a formal name but started calling them by a nickname. I also didn’t want them to start with the same letter. Then I thought the 3rd should have a formal with nickname… then the 4th and so on…

Now it’s really hard for me to come up with a name for my last baby!! So my kids names are:

[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] (Leo)
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] (Bella)
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] (Evie)
[name_u]Jackson[/name_u] (Jack)
[name_u]Wesley[/name_u] (Wes)

Anyone have any ideas for boy names with nice nicknames? Thank you!
