Quirky but not too quirky boys names

Hi All,

need your help again! We're having a DS in June and looking for a name. I had another thread a bit ago about DHs choice which was James which I don't like for a variety of reasons. I do like names like Noah, Toby, Sam, Arthur, and Fred but none of them feels exactly right. Can anyone inspire me with a short, quirky-ish name?

Lions hope you don't mind me keeping an eye on this thread. Lots of names on your list and other posts that are our taste and we need to narrow our list down.
I've only come across one Toby in three years so not popular near us in Yorkshire.
I love some of the suggestions here but Rowan and Toby are still top of our list Grin
Love Jude still but too close to ds1
Loving Mack and Tate too

Noah and Sam aren't all that unusual. Asa is a good one - not at all common.
