Refine my boy’s list

Please help me cut down my (fat too long) boy’s list! Any connotations I should be aware of? Any excessively common right now? Any that are objectively awful that I’ve somehow become name blind to?!
thanks! X

Charlie, Finn and George are very popular.
As a teacher I'd also say there are at least 3 Joes in every year group without fail.
I really like Milo but know quite a few babies with that name.
I love Otto and Ethan.
Also worth remembering if you absolutely love a name then don't let popularity put you off. When it's your own DC's name, it won't matter.

I would say Jack, Finn and Rory are all really popular where I am (they are all lovely names though!)

My favourites from your list are Samuel (Sam) and Jude.
