Slightly cool boys names?

Hiya I need help collecting a list of fairly cool but not totally out there boys names.
We are a young (ish) family & I can't see myself with a son with a super traditional name! My partners an officer in the Army- he's a William and likes quite traditional names, I work in the media & run a holistic health
centre and am slightly more hippy ish!
So far we can't agree on a name that suits us both.

I like Mason and Finlay with the more classic James as a middle name.

Ideas for others please ........

I love Marlon. Fabulous. Everyone panned me when I suggested it on here though!

How about

Travis
Winston
Hamish
Heston
Curtis
Jared
Brandon
Lennox?

Just as an aside, very nearly every baby boy I know born in the last year has James as a middle name! I'm not exaggerating. It's lovely but ubiquitous as a boys middle name. Ubiquitous.
