First baby. Long surname.
I like a lot of top 10 names, but didn't really want a top 10 name as would like to reduce risk of baby having same name as multiple others in his class. Open to other suggestions too!

  1. Dylan
  2. Byron
  3. Asher
  4. Austin
  5. Harper
  6. Leon
  7. Eli
  8. Elliot
  9. Ellias
  10. Hugo
  11. Jude
  12. Louis
  13. Logan
  14. Harrison
  15. Finn
  16. Hector
  17. Winston
  18. Fletcher
  19. Otis
  20. Oscar
  21. Owen
  22. Edward
  23. Arthur

Of your list my faves are:

Edward
Arthur
Oscar
Hector
Otis

I am less keen personally on surname names like Austin, Logan, Fletcher, tho these are less popular than some.

I teach secondary and I know a lot of boys called Harrison, Elliot (and variants), Louis/Lewis, Dylan, if you are trying to avoid popular names. Mind you these are boys aged 11-16.

Harper is usually a girl's name (Harper Lee, Harper Beckham).

Byron, Edward and Leon were on our shortlist too so those are my favourites. And I like Dylan too but we couldn't use it.

Edward, Oscar, Finn, Harrison, Elliot - in my opinion these are the ones most likely to have a duplicate in the class (even if against a Finlay known as Finn, etc).

I really like Asher and Fletcher from your list, although they're normally not my style at all.
