Can't think of suitable boy name

Just that really.

I'm not a fan of biblical names - Joseph, Elias, Jonah etc.

Quite like classic names but concerned they are dull and they are 10 a penny - James, William, Edward

No 1970s names - Gary, Barry, Wayne 🤣

Or American ones - Harrison, Jackson, Reuben

There's names I consider great 'dog' names - Albie, Raffy, Oscar, Alfie..

Help!

My little boy is called Robin Halloween Smile

More modern ideas (they sound more modern to me but worth checking - they may be classics)

Rudi/Rudy
Eli
Ellis
Miles/Milo
Barnaby

How about Nathan (Nate)?

Traditional style names outside top 100:

Peter
Christopher (Kit)
Wilfred (Wilf)

Ps love Dylan

Dylan sort of has the same vibe as Aiden... To me anyway🤣
What about Ethan or Sam

Wilf(red)?
