Boys names

I'm really struggling to find a boy name that fits! Not due until early June so plenty of time, but wondered for any suggestions. Naming tastes run to the very unique/unusual. We like a lot of Lord of the rings or Harry Potter inspired names. Girl's names are soooo much easier!

Thorin (I have known an actual Thorin, very cute indeed) (yes, I know it's not LOTR)
Look up Welsh baby names, lots of Yo,Ken characters names sound quite Welsh in flavour.

Aslan
Caspian

I don't think many of the names in HP are particularly out there, are they? Fred, George, Seamus, Dean, Harry? Or are you more Albus, Sirius, Remus? Remus is cool. Remus was cool :(

And, if I may say so, why not just look in the books?

Definitely the 'Albus, Remus' type! Sirius and Thorin are our favourites so far. I've read the books and most are either too nutty ( don't think I could get away with Baby Gandalf!) or like above still quite normal. I guess I'm after 'similar' style names to consider rather than the ones I've come across. I love Caspian though......DP wants Cassius but for some reason it just doesn't do it for me so that might be a good alternative.
