I find girl names so easy but really struggling to love a boy name.

I like traditional names. My issue is I’ve read a lot of CVs and I’ve seen people have unconscious bias around more exotic or none traditional names. I don’t agree with it but i know it happens.

Girl names examples are Sophie, Emily etc.
Girl names I dislike Primrose, Esme

Any help or suggestions for boy names?
