We are due a boy in a few weeks. Some of these names I have given as an example are lovely and don't want to offend anyone who has chosen them but we are hoping to find the sweet spot name which

A) isn't too popular or trending (so might date eg Arlo, Ezra, Arthur, Otto, Ted, Jude)
B) isn't a "newer name" like American type surname Jackson, Harrison, Cole (we do like Logan though)
C) is traditional but not v exciting (Oliver, George, Charles/Charlie, Jack)
D) is cute but will also suit them as an adult
[E) also not a friend/family member name]

Not asking for much 😂😂
Ideas so far: Douglas, Oscar, Jesse, Orson, Percy

Overall I guess whatever the name, trending or not if you love it go for it??

Douglas is one of my favourite names at he moment. Dougie is a cute nickname for a child or adult.
