Need unusual but not poncy boys' names please

Struggling to find a good balance between unusual and downright flouncy/poncy (which I'm not keen on for a boy).

DD has very unusual (but very pretty and not made up name) and I want something unusual for impending DS, but all the 'out there' boys names I've come across just sound too poncy to me.

Names that I like but are not unusual enough include:
Sam/Samuel
Daniel
Cameron

Names I do not like!
Tristan
Tarquin
Jonty
(you get my drift!)

Our surname starts with S, so nothing ending in S or X, and preferably 2 syllables or more.

Not asking much, am I? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have an Edmund. That seem to be pretty uncommon these days.

Hal is short for Henry/Harry, I think.

control - thanks for the suggestions. Can Hal be short for anything do you think?

Can't tell you DD's name, it would give me away!
