We actually like popular names which seems surprising on mn. We have two girls both top 40 now but were much higher when they were born. Dc3 is going to be a boy and whilst we've got a shortlist I just can't decide. Josh (Joshua on bc) is front runner but interested in hearing what other popular names others like.

Theo (dh first choice)
Jack
Oliver (dh hates)
Josh (my first choice dh second)

From your list I like Josh and I don't think it's very common.

If your dh hates Oliver I would discount that.
Personally I prefer Jack but I'm in a minority not liking soft sounding names.

I think Oliver is the best from your list. Anecdotally, I'm a teacher and have never taught an Oliver I didn't like so always has really positive connotations for me Smile I also like Jack.
