Help!! Suggestions for boys names!

We’re having a baby boy and we are struggling for names - we have some but none that Jump out. We like names which aren’t common, anything which comes high in the name list is out. We really like old fashioned type names.

We have an awkward surname which is 3 letters and one syllable so it also needs to go with that

Theses are some we like:
Edison
Edwin (Eddie or Teddy as nn)
Artemis (artie)
Jasper
Albie

Does anyone have any suggestions 😬

Oh and I'm fairly sure that jasper is common now.

Albie doesn't fit with the others op.

I was about to say Darwin too.

Hector is nice but hugely popular where I am.

Love Casper. Again popular though.

Edwin is great.

Larkin?

I have two with slightly unusual names. This is probably the only thread I've seen that they both appear on.
