Unusual but not too weird baby boy names!

We're having a boy!
So excited but really stuck on names. Husband likes James, Ben and Samuel, but we know a lot of those and would love something slightly less common, without being weird or tacky - a difficult balance to strike.
Scandinavian inspired would be okay too, but trying to avoid the obvious stuff.
Thanks :-)

Lots of the traditional names are less common than the ones suggested. Samuel is less common than Arlo, for example. Christopher, Peter and Anthony, for instance, are now quite rare.
You could also look at biblical names like Abel or Jonas.

Jax
Myles

We really love both but DS likes Jax....
Thats a mix between traditional (Jack) and something a bit more modern.

Wheelbarrow nn Wheely

It's unusual and, I think, not too weird - in fact we have one in our garden.
