Slightly cool boys names?

Hiya I need help collecting a list of fairly cool but not totally out there boys names.
We are a young (ish) family & I can't see myself with a son with a super traditional name! My partners an officer in the Army- he's a William and likes quite traditional names, I work in the media & run a holistic health
centre and am slightly more hippy ish!
So far we can't agree on a name that suits us both.

I like Mason and Finlay with the more classic James as a middle name.

Ideas for others please ........

I do like Finn / Finlay and Flynn too.

Oscar. I may be a little biased though.

Agree that Fin/Finlay is quite widely used already, not exactly 'cool].

Boys names that I like which sound good with middle name James include:

Arlo James
Quentin James
Caspar James
Fabian James
Bruno James
Winston James

Thanks for your continued input. There are some lovely names included in your lists but still none I can imagine using for my baby! Really finding this hard and DP isn't being much help at all. He seems to find it easy to say what he doesn't like but doesn't have any suggestions of his own!

You can't go wrong with John/Johnny

We have a Levi and a Saul, if this baby had been a boy he would have been Zeke.

What about Deon or Dion ( either spelling) ?
