Names for an Action / Adventurous Life-Styled Man?

I am having trouble with this naming task. I need to name a male character in a story who's life evolves around action and adventure. Jason Bourne, Ethan Hunt, and James Bond all have names suited specifically to the field of action - or at least mentally tied to it.

What I'm looking for is a name that is real and unique, uncommon (like Bob or Richard), but not extreme (like Chaos Grim or Dreadsong). Also, I want it to blend in with names that start with O or D but do not start with those letter Explicitly. I feel the best name(s) for this would start with either an 'M' or a 'B' and should be only two syllables long.

    Theron (this suggests 'hunter' in Greek.) Jeremiah (because your description jogs my memory of the action picture 'Jeremiah Johnson.' you need to look it up!) Locke Robinson Josiah Boaz Cherokee Sawyer / Sayer Indio Vail / Vale Sloan / Sloane Merrick Domino Caine / Kane Hemlock (it truly is a form of poisonous plant. i imagine that a form of nature call must be cool for him on the grounds that he lives in the mountains.) Roman Declan Emmett Pierce / Pearce
