Boy name suggestions! Help!

My wife and I are trying to pick a boys name to go with our last name which is Buys. We are looking for something that isn't overused or a national favorite at the moment but nothing off-the-wall or strange. So far we are toying around with the following names but we aren't sure how well they fit especially since most of them are single syllable and I read somewhere that single syllable last names should be matched with double or multiple syllable first names. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Oliver Buys (Nickname Ollie)
Owen Buys (worried that this is too popular)
Reed Buys
Jude Buys (or Judah)

Please feel free to suggest other ideas!

I really like how Oliver Buys rolls off the tongue. Congrats on your baby!

I like Owen but that might be too popular for you (although I don't think it's THAT popular). Of the others you named I like Oliver & Reed.

Others:

Ewan
Graham
Garrett
Davis
