Boy name help

Hello, looking for some advice.

Baby boy will be brother to Alasdair. Thinking we want to avoid another 'A' first name.

Middle name will be Michael after grandfather.

Surname is two syllables and starts with H.

Ideally want to avoid anything in top 20, tend to like more traditional names rather than short versions (Jack, Charlie, etc).

I know it's a lot of requirements, thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone for the lovely suggestions.

This is very funny, Dad's name is Neil! A few suggested that one.

We have discussed Gabriel, Euan and Duncan, all the others are great suggestions too.
