Looking for a bit of inspiration for a name for a boy. Surname is long so thinking 2 syllables max. Not really a fan of cute names like Archie, Charlie. Prefer if it's not too popular though it's not the be all and end all...

Some names I already like (some of which i can't use sadly)
Jasper
Arlo
Roman/ronan (very popular though right?)
Devin
Magnus
Niven
Ramsay
Ivan

I like these but not sure I'm brave enough/like them enough/ maybe too hipstery?
Orion
Atticus (love this, love the book but just too much?)
Atlas
Forrest
Bram

Any other ideas? Hopefully given an idea of style... Just feel nothing is leaping out as "the one"

thanks!
