Boy's name

Hi everyone, we're looking for a nice boy's name. We like Dutch-sounding names that aren't too common (not in the top 20). On our list are:
Ole / Sil / Mink / Kobe / Ted / Melle
Which of these do you think is the nicest? Any more suggestions for us in the same vein?
Thanks! Greetings, Manon

    I really like Melle. I like Ole too.
    Sil, Mink, Kobe and Ted I find a bit old-fashioned, not really my taste.

    Maybe:
    Abel, Bas, Boris, Daniël, David, Dex, Elias, Fedde, Ferre, Hidde, Jelle, Jens, Joep, Jurre, Mats, Moos, Morris, Otis, Pepijn, Pim, Quinten, Rens, Roan, Ruben, Sepp, Senn, Siem, Stijn, Sven, Thijs, Tibbe, Twan, Willem

    Thanks Anouk, funny because we also secretly like old-fashioned names
    Lots of nice names on your list:
    Abel, Hidde, Joep, Mats, Sep and Tibbe I could give myself. Siem and Willem are also very nice!

    Hi Manon! I think they're all nice, except Mink, because it reminds me of the word "mank/verminkt." Of the other names, I like Sil, Ted, and Melle the most. Ole and Kobe are a bit less, but okay!
    Here are some other ideas:
    Guus Gijs Joes Bram Loek Loet Sol Soy Bob Jonas Youp Rink Pepijn Bas Bart Wim Frank Jibbe Jurre Jur Harm Syb/Sieb Siebe Maas Luuk Dries Sten Stef Ben Pieter Fedde Faas Pelle Jelle Hein Giel Freek Foss Kas Huub Huib Hugo Krijn Roef Moos Tijl Ties Tuur Tom Ward

    Hi Lou! Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I can't get Mink through the approval here either. I personally think it's a really cool, tough-sounding name that you don't hear often. Sil also thinks my husband likes it less.. Ole is currently at the top of the list.
    Nice suggestions! Especially these:

    Guus Joes Loek Loet Rink Jibbe Sieb Siebe Hein Fos Moos Tom

    Best regards

    I do like Kai.
    Zane too, but it doesn't sound very Dutch
