Short boys names

DS1 has a one syllable first name that's pretty unusual in England. We like short names as these work best with our surname. We are really struggling to find a short name for DS2 who is due shortly.

Our list is:
Finn (too popular)
Max (seems quite mainstream compared to unusual DS1)
Fox (too out there for first name?)
Keir (too similar to other name in family)
Ace (is it too out there?!)
Jude (there's a few near us)

We don't like royal names, anything top 20 but equally don't want to lumber the child with anything outrageous

What do you think of the above and any more suggestions for short, "cool", boys' names?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I now have a long list of:

Ace - there's just something about this I love
Sage
Zane
Tate
Nate
Levi
Leif - I do like a Scandi name
And although it doesn't fit the brief I'm a big fan of Sonny too...
