Need BOY name help

Hi, I'm due to have a boy in May but my DH and I are struggling for a name. We had two boys names if our DD had been a boy but one has been used by a close friend whose DD's name is the same as our DD and the second my DH doesn't want any more as he knows to many guys with that name who he deems stupid Our DD is Lillian and so far the only name we can agree on is Rafferty The two we had were Samuel and Benjamin. We just want another option in case our choice above doesn't continue to grow on us. We have been through so many that we are lost for ideas so I thought i would come on here and see if the wise ones of EB might give us something we haven't thought of. Your help is much appreciated.

I think all 3 names are great and all good with Lillian. Suggestions: Lillian and Elliot Lillian and Elias Lillian and Xavier Lillian and Patrick Lillian and Tobias Lillian and Byron Lillian and Finlay Lillian and Bennett Lillian and Hamish Lillian and Marcus Lillian and Harrison Lillian and Sebastian Lillian and Riley Lillian and Miles Lillian and Atticus Lillian and Thomas Lillian and Julius Lillian and Jude Lillian and Samson/Sampson Lillian and Alexander Lillian and Seth Lillian and Micah

ooh lots of ideas, thanks. Awesome101- James probably would have been on the list if it wasn't my cousins name.
