Unusual but not weird?

We have a DS (Hugo) and a girls name sorted but struggling with boys name, I like unusual (not top 75ish) but will be a double barrelled surname so not too many syllables!

We like Jude & Raphael, any other suggestions?

Jude isn't particularly unusual. Its in the top 100. Its still Lovely, though.
Id say if you want something unusual go for something plain such as
Bernard
Alan
Jon
Paul
Jon-Paul
Peter
There won't be many of them in the class room

To go with Hugo, how about:
Ralph
Johnny
Bart
Marc/Marcus
Seth

I think you should go with Raphael though.
I've got a Raphael, get nothing but compliments on his name.

He goes by Raff usually but I don't mind so much.

I do like Reuben and Ralph.

I still LOVE Raphael but DP isn't 100% sure as it is quite bold, Raff would be my non of choice too!

I like the same thing for my boys - unusual but not weird. We don't share the same taste so no point telling you my kids' names.

But from what you've suggested I'd pick Ralph! (pronounced as it's written, or Rafe?) Reuben, Raphael, Hugo and Jude are quite popular round here (Surrey).
