Percy, Cuthbert or Coriolanus?

DH and I can't decide. We are thinking of Coriolanus Percy.

Don't want a name that there are loads of in the same school/nursery. Would prefer to be the only one. Needs to be reasonably traditional/not made up (DH's criteria).

Perineum?

Beautiful. Simply beautiful, classic and timeless, yet manly. With an edge.

I like Horace -certainly not usual but Hugo is lovely-how about Guy,Miles,Giles or Barnaby?

Not keen on any sorry. Hate to say it but the latter two you mention (Cuthbert and Coriolanus) seem rather pretentious to me. I guess they will be going to private school???

Might not be so bad if known by a non-silly nn.

Percy is slightly better but an old man name IMO (in same vein as Stanley, Arthur etc - both of which I struggle with).
