Boys name - similar to Noah or Oscar?

Really struggling to think of boys names. We have Edward as our first choice but I am only about 80% sure on it and we just can't agree on any others! I'm worried Edward is just too simple/plain but I don't want an out there or pretentious name either. I'd like a name that would get a "such a lovely name" response, something familiar but not necessarily a name that has always been a solidly popular/traditional name. I love Noah and Oscar but can't use them because of close family members with those names. Help!!

My friend's little boy is called Ethan. His brother is Ryan. Both normal but uncommon names for small boys.

How about Aaron, Felix, Hugh, Joel, Rufus, Simon or Wilfred?
