What's your favourite (slightly) unusual boys name?

Looking at boys names for DS2 and struggling a bit. DS1 has a traditional top 10 name but we can't find another similar we like for DS2 so I'm thinking we might need to go a bit more unusual. So I'm looking for some inspiration!

Rowan, would've been DS's name if DH hadn't disliked it so much.

i love biblical names - Elijah, Gideon, Luke, Judah, Joshua, Samuel, Micah. None are particularly unusual though I suppose.

Evan is nice. Jonah has possibilities too, I'll put them to DH. Thanks for all the suggestions - naming the second really is harder than the first! If anyone has any others I'd love to hear them. Alma Ambrose will likely be one of his middle names as its a family name and we both like it.

Maybe not that unusual but we have a Seth and don't hear of any others. People often love it or hate it though, you can just tell!

I guess it's a little more than "slightly" unusual sorry!!
