Austin? Rafe?

I am 37 weeks pregnant with DC2, we don't know if boy or girl.

We've chosen a lovely girls name but really struggling with boys names!! The only few names that we both seem to agree on are Austin or Rafe - any comments?? Are these weird? I'd like to avoid the very over-popular names if poss but also do like traditional old fashioned names. BUT our surname is Head so some really don't work (Richard obv, Edward = Ed Head, Arthur = "half a head"....etc...etc... !)

Please help!

Rafe is great! Don’t like Austen at all.

Argh so sorry for not replying to my own post for so long! Been away for a last jaunt before baby turns up. We are really struggling with names still but have decided against Austin now just as both me and DH names begin with A and there are too many A's in the family! Still not sure Rafe is right.... wish we could agree on something!
