Boys names with our surname - help!

I’m 37 weeks with DC2 - we don’t know if boy or girl. We’ve chosen a lovely girls name but really stuck on boys!

Our surname is Head which can make some really lovely names difficult or downright awful....please could anyone help with some boys name suggestions? I like old fashioned names but would like to avoid anything too overly popular so happy to go with names that are more unusual too... thanks in advance!
