‘Proper’ or traditional boys names that aren’t too popular

[RitaPanda]

I like names like Alexander, Harry, Henry, Edward, Thomas but they are all so popular.
Can anyone suggest any fairly traditional boys names that aren’t too popular?

I really dislike surnames names, anything made up sounding or anything American sounding.

Yes I know I’m picky & judgy

Classic names are very well used, but this doesnt male them less lovely. I think Oliver, Joshua and Benjamin are on the same kind of wave length all.popular though. Names like John and Peter are less popular but similarly traditional.

Or how about a traditional scottish name like Angus or Hamish? Lovely traditional names with that classic feel but not over used :)
