Can anyone point me in the direction of some nice names for a baby boy avoiding the usual (Adrian, Andrew, Adam, Alex etc).

Had a really lovely Abel in my class once.
Never been a huge fan of the name but now I like it more because of him!

Asa, Atticus, Alaric and Abram are my favourite less common boys names. Though I’ve met a couple of young Axel’s now and it’s growing on me.
