Can’t find a boys name I like ☹️

I like James but it’s also a little bit insipid. Also like George but I can’t use it for various reasons, ditto Jack. I suppose I like traditional names that aren’t too posh or ‘geeky’. Any ideas ladies? I also like Leo but DH doesn’t.

If I had another son I'd be tempted with Jago which I believe is a variation of James

Montgomery.

Due a comeback, surely? It’s a fabulous name.
