Still needing help with the main male character's name?

Question: Still needing help with the main male character's name!?

Ok, so I am in the process of writing a novel!. The main female character's name will be Charlotte!. I am looking for the main male character's name!. He's a tough guy with a heart of gold!. He's a musician, and has an amazing voice and a bright future!. Very rock and roll!. He has a dark past!. He's been with LOTS of girls and has never settled for just one until he meets Charlotte and then he comes to love her more than he loves himself!. When I picture what he looks like I picture Adam Pascal (from the OBC of Rent) I think he would have a voice like that too!. Here's a list of possible names I've come up with so far!.
Cooper
Ace
Jett
Jackson
Axel
Ellis
Gunner

What do you think of those!? I am still open to suggestions, but I can not stress enough that I DO NOT want a normal name for this character!. It has to be very masculine and nothing normal so no williams, charles, christophers, you get the idea!. Thanks fo much for your input and ideas!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most authors use either baby books or baby name websites!. The best is www!.behindthename!.com!. There are literally thousands of names there!. I like names that have interesting meanings!.

For last names, the author's secret is US Census Bureau List of Surnames from most common to least common!. Every surname in America is listed there!.

I like first and last names to resonate!. Harmonics is very important to me!. And as an author, I would no more ask someone to name my characters than I would ask them to name my son!. I wouldn't even ask for help naming a goldfish! Remember what Stephen King says!. Your characters are your "darlings"!. Not someone else's!.

I keep those two sites on bookmarks so I can get to them quickly!. Pax-CWww@QuestionHome@Com

I am also a writer and I find getting character names just right to be a long process!.
Your description of your character brings these names to my mind:
Aaron
Adrian
Blake
Damian
Garrett
Reuben/Ruben
Wesley
Zander

Axel (foley!?)
Ellis (is this a name!?)
Gunner (world war 3!?)

Those names are good, but none of them are good for your character, which you have discribed me!. For me, the three names good for your male character are
Lee
David
Homer

If you picture him looking like Adam Pascal and by his description I would go with:

Ace
Axel
Gunner
