Baby boy - Louis/Hugo/Balthazar...what else?

Hi All - I have nc for this as I have discussed potential names with friends and think they are probably fairly distinctive.

Baby boy (firstborn) due very soon and I am stuck on names. I quite like Louis and Hugo but wonder if they are about to become wildly popular. Not necessarily an issue but I would prefer slightly less popular given the choice.

A while back DM suggested Balthazar which I scoffed at but it’s been playing on my mind recently. I think it’s a great name but it’s also a big name and challenging to shorten outside of Bal/Baz.

I’m not sure any are “the one” and it’s stressing me out!

Any thoughts or suggestions very much appreciated! Surname is a fairly bog standard British name.

Balthazar is dreadful. Hugo and Louis lovely.
