Challenge to find a timeless, uncommon-ish boy’s name

[Arniepie]

Haven’t found a single boys name that we agree on for impending DS2. DS1 has a fairly unusual, Welsh name with great nickname potential-it’s perfect. I’ve read the entire 2019 ONS list and not found anything.
Must be ‘timeless’- ie. not shot up in popularity recently like Arlo, Albie etc type names.
Would like it to ‘go’ with DS1 so ideally not too common (although this doesn’t put me off entirely) and possibly have Welsh roots (we have links but live in England)
I think I need to be open to starting from scratch to find something because clearly I’m being too fussy!
If I had to choose a name tomorrow it would be Laurie. This has been vetoed by DH!
Please help!

Macsen, Rhydian, Meilir, Mabon

Aubrey

Christopher
Peter
Issac
Elijah (Eli)
Oren

Hugh

Louen is perfect.

Laurie is a lovely name, what a shame you can’t use it.

Robert
Owen
Rhys
Sean
Gavin
Rhodri
Ivor
Jonathon
David
Michael

No Welsh roots (I believe) but Nicholas?

Aneurin (Nye)

I think going more Welsh might help.
Not sure if you are lining in Wales but

Rhodri
Emrys
Osian
Ceri
Ianto
Iolo

All pronounceable and relatively classic, not unheard of but not too common (will be unusual in England).

Ianto

Guto (one of my favourite names ever). Wiki tells me it can also be a diminutive for Gruffudd / Gruffydd, Augusto, or Gustavo.

Unless you’ve used one of these already!

Brychan
Rhydian
Idris
Islwyn
Gwilym

Johnathan
William
David
Michael

Any name that was popular when your parents were children will be unpopular now

@Boombadoom

Louen is perfect.

I love this!

@Upalln1ght me too! I almost want my husbands vasectomy reversed so I can try for a boy just to use this name 😂

Lloyd
Ryan
Sean
Brendan
Cillian
Conor

Have you looked up SJ Strum on YouTube? She does baby name videos every Monday and there's some really lovely ideas there.

Elis
Lewis
Osian
Arthur nn Art / Arti
Cai
Jac
Morgan
Emyr
Idris
Llewelyn nn Lew

Vaughan
Jeremy
Ieuan
Leonard

Evan
Medyr

Not Welsh but Ezra is a pretty uncommon name.

This is so amazing to read through, thanks everyone!
DS’s name has been suggested along with many others that we’ve discussed and discounted as not being quite right! (We have a strange surname to contend with too!) so this is definitely the theme I need to go down…
Is Louen beginning with an oo or ow sound?

Sion (Sean, Shaun)

Joseph
David

Seconding Rufus, Silas and
Milo!

Owain?

Gethin

I also like Christopher
