Names with hard "C" and "L" sounds

Boy Names
1

For our boy due early next year, I’m finding myself drawn to names with a hard “C” sound, especially also with an “L.” But liking the sound is different from liking the name as a whole, and I don’t love any of these for various reasons:

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Colin[/name_m] (too common, also feels a bit dated)
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] (pronunciation issues; similar to our pet’s name)
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] (maybe dated; just don’t like it that much)
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] (trying to avoid names that begin with L)

The word “garlic” keeps coming to mind, though obviously that’s not a contender. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Lorcan also fits the bill, but it starts with L.
