New brother or sister!

Name Advice
1

Hi! Excitingly welcoming a new baby to our family! We aren’t finding out gender until birth and already have a few littles and are officially fresh out of pre planned names lol
Our current babes are

(B) Sullivan Gray (Van)
(B) Orson Otto (Sonny)
(G) Colette Edith (Etta)

As you can tell we have a thing for the dramatic name with a cute NN to go with. Dying for all the suggestions you have for first and middle! Not comfortable sharing a last name but it begins with N.
Some we have liked a bit are
Leonardo, Augustine, Cassius, Periwyn, Bianca
Not set on any though TYIA
