Boy name!

We are really struggling for a boy name for dc2. Already have a Thea and if this baby is a girl she will be Iris. We want what everyone wants - a name that's a bit unusual but not unheard of or weird. But there's just nothing that I love. Some names that we have on the shortlist are:
Asher
Percy (dh hates this)
August (ditto)

Our surname has a -man ending which rules out anything ending in an.
Does anyone have any ideas? I feel like I've looked at and rejected every boy name there's ever been!

Lachlan is my favourite although I have spent most of my adult life living in Scotland Grin

I love Arthur but we have a close relative whose son has this name so we can't use it. Dh won't consider Harris because of Rolf Harris (tenuous...) Like Albie but not Albert. Aster and Grayson seem a bit too American (not an issue in itself obviously but we aren't American) and Cassius is nice but seems a big name to live up to.

Aster (its on my girls list but I think it's cool for a boy)
Grayson/Gray
Cassius (i would shorten to cass)
