Boy's names please, not too popular, not too wacky - leaning towards Celtic but all suggestions welcome

We are really struggling to think of a boy's name that is not too popular (trying to avoid names in the top 20-30). We'd ideally like something slightly unusual but not too wacky. We are leaning towards Celtic names as we are both Scottish but open to all suggestions (especially German as DP has German blood). The kind of name we like is:

Ewan/Euan
Finlay
Dylan
Connor

These are all very popular in Scotland at the moment. We also have to avoid names begining with 'W' due to surname. Any suggestions will be gratefully receieved

Unfortunately, they do all seem really popular at the moment (even in England). There are lovely names though. My cousin's baby is Finley (5 years ago and unusual then!). There is a little boy in the baby group I go to called Dylan and another friend of mine has a Dylan. Another little boy in my baby group called Connor as well. How about:

Carey
Carden
Corey
Dallas
Drew
Fionn
Kendrick
Tristan

Lucas? Works well with German as well as Celtic/Scottish roots.

How about Tor? Has Scottish origins as well as some others.
