My favourite on your list is Victor.

Noah, Arthur and Reuben are very popular.

Ryan, Sam and Adam are outdated and boring IMO.

I love Huckleberry- so cool.

Don't like Finbar- sounds like some cartoon character. I like Reuben, Rafferty, Oscar and Tobias.

I like more traditional names, like Sam from your list.

Reuben is lovely, different but not extreme.

I don't like Finbar sorry. It reminds me of Simba 😂 I want to quote lion king.

Arthur I think is cute, but I don't know how it would work on a teenager? It's cute for a baby with a little old man name

Like the suggestion of Tobias, but would use Toby

Greyson seems rather cool, I think that would be a name that would work throughout ages

I love Sam, like Noah, not keen on the others. Based on your list, another suggestion would be Huxley.

That’ll be “Finbarr Saunders and his Double Entendres”.

Huckleberry sounds ridiculous - like a cartoon character, or a pet chipmunk or something. Or a brand name.
