What do you think? Any other thoughts?

We like fairly traditional names which are easily recognisable. However, nor do I want the name to be too common (ideally not top 10). Our other DC names are outside the top 200.

DH names I have vetoed, Henry, James (they're nice but I basically hear these names a lot and would prefer something a bit more unusual)

My suggestions DH has vetoed = Owen, Joseph, Luke, Nathan

Max is my favourite but then I'm bias :)

They're all nice, but I'd go for John. It's a refreshing change and quite unusual at the moment. It's a nice classic name.

I find john a bit serious on a baby but if he was called Johnny as a nn then I love it and it would probs me my number 1. If he's always John then max is my fave, wouldn't be bothered by the S surname.

Not so keen on Alfred, I like Alfie but too popular.
