Need some ATQ input!

My wife and I are due to have our third child near the end of March. We just went for our ultrasound last week and found out we're having our third boy! The good news is that my wife hasn't left me (yet). The bad news is that we have to come up with another boy name. Which is where you guys come in...
For a little background, we have two boys - Benjamin and Micah. We've had a girl's name picked out since our first boy was born, but obviously God doesn't want us to use that yet. Our boys both have Biblical names, but we're not set on maintaining that trend.
As a little anecdote, Micah's middle name is Teemu. For any hockey fans out there, you know who Teemu Selanne is. My wife and I are both Anaheim Ducks fans and we made a bet when we were pregnant that if the Ducks won the Stanley Cup, we would name the child Teemu (assuming it was a boy). Well, the Ducks went on to win the Cup and now we have a Micah Teemu running around.
All that to say, we're not afraid to step outside the box, as long as it's not completely ridiculous. If you guys have any suggestions on what to name our third boy, I'd be glad to hear them. We're stumped at the moment. Names that have significance to Oregon sports are especially welcome. Thanks!
EDIT: Just so everyone knows, my last name is "Flude." Gorbachav was actually the name of my high school band, and I just happen to use it as an internet moniker. Carry on with the name suggestions!

I'll start the I like my name posts...
Besides Matthew is a biblical name, but if you want to go with a ducks name I would go with Dixon…you will almost guarantee he plays for the ducks.
Plus, you can always play with the spelling, Dixon, Dickson, Dixson, etc.

Matthew Dixon Gorbachov has a nice ring to it.
Seriously though, Matthew is the way to go. It’s both modern and classic, and I haven’t met a Matthew or a Matt I didn’t like.
It's spelled "T-A-K-O-T-U-E-S-D-A-Y-S-!-!-!."

I would actually go with Dixon Matthew… much better way of assuring he is recruited for and plays for the ducks :-)
Or you could go with my favorite law firm name I have ever see:
Dixon, Cox and Peters

Matthew is a solid name. And Matt is a good nickname.
Dixon for a middle name might be interesting…I’ll have to run that one by the wife. Or just fill out the birth certificate while she’s not looking.

I actually got my fiancee to agree to using this as a middle name if she can pick the first name. The deal was I couldn’t spell it danger.
First name, I like David as a biblical yet modern name, and as Dave can attest, its a powerful name, I mean he co-manages the site

If you name him Rick Flude, it’s an anagram for Duck Rifle—-a future UO quarterback for sure!

Or, for the ultimate in Duck history and tradition, Tall Firs Flude!

I asked my wife about that – My dad’s dad was named Richard, but she doesn’t like any of the nicknames that go along with it – Rich, Rick, Richie, Dick, etc. Not sure why, but she’s nixed that one already.
Tall Firs, on the other hand, may just have a chance…

It’s funny, Reuben Droughns went to school at Anaheim High, which is right down the street from where I grew up. I wound up going to a different high school, but I remember him absolutely demolishing all the county rushing records when he went to school there. His brother was a receiver for the team.
I didn’t realize he’d gone to Oregon until I got there.
