Name to fall in love with for DS

Im 24 weeks and trying to find a name to fall in love with for DS. We are both British but DP's surname is Spanishy sounding starts with S and three syllables ending in on. So want something that sounds good with that, and is also a strong English name, but not too popular. I got tired of being one of three in my class at school!

Current shortlist is

Oscar (like the sound and sounds good with surname but don't want anything too trendy. how many Oscars do you know?)

Isaac

Joseph (love the sound but don't really like nn Joe)

Saul (can't decide if this sounds good or bad with surname)

Have also considered Felix, Gabriel, Jasper.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Arnold and Augustus are family names on DP's side but don't really like Arnie or Gus as likely nns! Michael is another family name and possible middle name.

Don't like Saul but the rest are all very nice. I would use Joseph as the middle name if you're not keen on Joe. Oscar Joseph or Isaac Joseph are lovely.

Some more suggestions

Miles or milo
Hugo
Oliver
Theodore/theo
Phillip/pip
Reuben
Benedict
Fredrick
Barnaby
Ellis
Samuel
Nathaniel/Nate
Lewis
Asher
Noah
Julian

Isaac is nice as is the suggestion of Matthias. We have a Quentin which isn't too trendy or how about Reuben or Dominic?

Matthias

Out of your names, I like Isaac and Joseph. Not so much Saul (but he was not a nice King!).

Oscar is a bit trendy, but I only know one and he's 9.
