Traditional but not overused names for a boy?

Trying desperately to think of a name for a baby boy and coming up with nothing.

We want something fairly traditional - something that people can spell, and we want it to be known, but not overly popular. Would prefer to avoid unusual spellings or names beginning with J.

Names we like but aren't right for us:
William (like the full name but not nicknames)
James
Edward (like the full name but not nicknames)
Thomas
Michael (like the full name but not nicknames)
Robert (like the full name but not nicknames)
Alexander
