My top ten from your list are:
Finbar / Finn - I love the nickname Finn, though my preferred full name is Finley or Finnian. Finbar is still cool and charming, though.
Tobias
Otto
Winston - The literary connection to 1984 convinced me on this name.
Amos
Lucian - A perennial favorite of mine because of its unusual and classic sound.
Elias
Jonah
Raleigh
Quinn - I'm not usually one to like unisex names, but I like Quinn as a male or female middle name.

My least favorites are:
Amaury - Not a huge fan of the sound.
Haydn - I realize that this is for the composer, but I fear that this name would get lost among other Haydens / Aydens / Braydens. You could definitely still use Haydn if this doesn't bother you, though.
Rafferty - It's the name of a chain restaurant in the US, but this may not be a problem in other countries.
Hardy - Bad personal connection for me, and its use as an adjective bugs me.
Valentine - It's a good name, but the connection to Valentine's Day might bring some teasing to a child.

Overall, you've got some great names on this list. I adore your taste in male names!

Also, brothers to August would be, from my personal favorites, Jasper and Dominic.
