Ned, Finley, Tom or...?

[HayFeverSucks]

Boys names are hard! Being a teacher makes it harder still. I am drawn to Ned as its less popular, not Edward, just Ned, but do like Tom and Finley despite their popularity. Any other suggestions?

I like Tom if it's short for Thomas.

I like Finley (though would spell it Finlay).

My favourites at the moment are:
Nathan
Leon
Dominic
Anthony
Rowan
Marcus
Theo
Joseph
Zachary
Christian
Jared
Owen
Tobias
Daniel
Simon
Ciaran
Justin
Aidan

I like Tom if short for Thomas. Can't understand the popularity of Finley.

Other ideas...

Leo
Max
Nathaniel (Nate)
Alfred/Alfie
Aaron

Ned means chav in Scotland, stands for Non Educated Delinquent.

Dominic
Fraser
Rupert
Ted (just Ted)
Aaron
Hal
Bennett

(all random names that sprung to mind from your OP, but bearing in mind the difficulty all teachers I know have!)

Tom, if short for Thomas.
