The other thing I consider is how names sound in the local accent. Some sound truly horrific in some of the accents where I live (near London). So a lot of my favourite Irish and European names wouldn't work here.

I don't like anything that will date, so I like classic names (not necessarily English classics though) and nothing too popular / trendy. I know these aren't exactly obscure, but they aren't obviously of the moment or recently of the moment, like Jack, Harry, Charlie, Oliver etc.

Ooh, and Dominic and Elliot

My absolute favourites (some of which I couldn’t use for various practical reasons like family members names and not fitting our surname)

Andrew (Drew)
Benedict
Edward
James
Miles
Rupert
Sebastian
Thomas

And my guilty pleasure because I would never have used it, especially after it’s been so trendy in the last 10 years or so, is Atticus
