Quirky boys names

I really like slightly unusual boys names. Mainly because I'm a teacher and I've been put off a lot of boys names over the years!
Any inspiration for me? Xx

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Seve I assume is most associated with Seve Ballisteros (sp) very famous and fantastic golfer rather than football.

I really like Gabe, but some that I haven't seen are
Cassidy
Tristram
Heath/Heathcliff
Giacomo (pr. Jackamo I.e. Giacomo Casanova)
Diego/Diogo

All classic, cool and not too trendy (yet?)
