What else can we add to our boys shortlist?

I thought we were sorted but my other half had changed his mind, so we're starting again. We have a boys list but it doesn't excite either of us... What else might we like?

Hugo - I love but DH thinks it's too posh for us (I'm not from the UK, so our views on posh our not are quite different)
Sebastian - both like but not love. It's a bit long and seems to have just Seb as a nickname (we're a nicknamy family)
Lucas - we both like but it seems a bit plain to me
Finn - both like but seems like it's a nickname and a Finley/lay doesn't go with our surname

help?

I love Finn, like Sebastian & Lucas, not keen on Hugo.

My Dp is similarly anti anything which he classes as "posh" (which is a lot!).

How about
Huw/Hugh (Huey)
Jonathan (Jack, Jake, Jonty...)

We had Hugo on our list for DS1 but was also concerned it might sound crazy posh. We live in the UK but I'm Irish and DH is German. It's fine in Germany, think it would be fine in the part of the UK we live in but worried that in Ireland people might think I've lost my mind slightly... Other names on our list are Miles, Ted (full name Theodore or Theo) and Conrad if that's any help.

I know an adult Sebastian who is called Bas. He spells it that way but pronounces it Baz.

I know a little Hugo - I think of it as a very posh name.

Love Finn Wink but don't make it longer with Finlay, different name with different origins and not as nice IMO. Also like Lucas on your list and agree with your DP about Hugo being posh!

I know an un-posh Hugo and don't (therefore) consider it posh.
