Short, simple boys names

We don't know yet if its a boy or a girl! But thinking about names anyway. We agree on lots of girls names but can't find any boys names for the shortlist.

Dh likes short, simple boys names like were common for our generation. Eg Adam, Ben, Chris, David, James, John, Rob, Tom etc.

I like most of the above list too except we have close friends and family with these names so they're out! Or worse, names of my ex-boyfriends are included in the above.

Help me think of more names in this sort of style? Generally one or two syllables, simple names, suitable for all walks of life, you know what I mean. Many thanks
