My least favourites from your list are the last 4. The rest are fine although Daniel was very much a name of my generation - there were at least 3 in my class at school and several more in my year group. I can’t think of any in my children’s classes.
What about Isaac, Amos or Luke and my forever favourite Paul. I bang on about Paul endlessly and had we had a last name that went with it there would have been no discussion necessary when our first son was born. Not everyone’s up of tea I know but to me it’s perfect.

Adam?

Samuel is my favourite.

Thomas was also on my shortlist.

How about Joel. Gorgeous and underused in my opinion.

I'm not keen on the last four.

Elijah
Gabriel
Asher
Andrew
Aaron
Barnabas
Samuel
Noah
Matthew
Mark
Simon
Philip
Jonathon
