I need help from the mumsnet network and naming experts with baby boy names. They are so hard!! I’ve scrolled through 1000’s of them aimlessly and can’t decide on one.
Our surname is Pang. We like names like Zachary and Lucas but not 100%.
I like classic, traditional names which sound cool and not too cute. They can be shortened too, as need to go with our one syllable surname. I have Irish heritage and would love to give a nod to the Celtic culture, although hubby hasn’t been sold on Irish names so far. Any suggestions please.

Tbh most names, long or short, go with Pang unless they start with a P

Traditional names that I like and I think are cool are:
Jude
Rex
Seth
Edward (so many good shortening options)
William
Oliver
