4 boys names, which one to use?

Little boy is due in May. We have 4 names that we love. We like traditional names, and I quite like medieval connections. We are ideally wanting it to be outside the top 100 list.
What are your opinions?

Edmund- this is the name we had picked out before we got pregnant and I always thought we would use it, but now not sure it's still my favourite.

Robin- this one is my favourite, but probably not DH's.

Ambrose- DH's favourite, and I love it because it's quite rare, but I worry people won't recognise the name and will be asking us to spell it or explain it.

Felix- the only name that doesn't really meet our criteria of traditional and not popular, but we both think it's so cute!

Ambrose, it's the most unusual and I'd love to see / hear of it being used.

Like them all, although worry you would lose the distinctiveness of Edmund to Ed or Eddie, and I do think Ambrose might be quite hard to carry off. Robin and Felix are probably my favourites, for that reason...
