We have an Oliver (Ollie) Dylan and Alexander (Alex). DH vetoes most suggestions so we are basically left with a couple of names he doesn't hate.
Current list:
Edward (Ted/Teddy) my favourite but DH insists he'll get nn Eddie which I'm not keen on
James - maybe a bit boring and I don't like Jay
Elliott - like but don't love

Thoughts on these three or any suggestions?

Felix
Theodore if you like Teddy/Ted
Natanial (Nate)
Zach
Sebastian (Seb/Sebby)

Edward is the best, especially shortened to Ned

I’d Google the 30 most common names in the uk as you seem to like that trend. They’re all pretty popular, traditional names. If I had to veto any of them then it would be James, it is a bit uninspiring with no personality behind it.

James! Absolute classic, traditional but cool.
Daniel
Kyle
Malachi
Jude

I love James, and I don’t know any little ones. I’ve never known one shortened to Jay, and that definitely wouldn’t put me off.

I like James and Edward of your three
When I saw the names of your Ds I immediately thought of Toby

Yes, Toby! That works well and I love the name

I like all your names, tbh. I like James - i haven’t met any little Jameses for a long time.
they all seem to fit the “traditional” mould (maybe Elliot a little less so), so some others i would associate with that category:

Marcus
Peter
Nathaniel
Lucas
Matthew

James isn't boring! I would call him James.
