I have a Keir and a Finn (outs self!).

Both great names.

It's been mentioned but I love Leo!

Millions of Sams here. So much so that when my cousin and his wife had twin boys I said to my mum "I presume one of them is Sam?" & sure enough, he was!

I'd never had considered Rex tbh , but I have a Max which is a very short, solid and good name suits any type of boy.(and very few Max's at his school)

I was at a Parents Evening, one of the Mums called to her son : "Josh".
Love that name.

Was going to suggest John too

Jim

Nye (short for Aneurin)

I have a Guy! He's 9 and absolutely loves it, v unusual now and somehow suits him perfectly.

Love both of those but they have fallen out of favour somewhat.

Another vote for Rex! Sounds bit more interesting/cool than Max while still solid & masculine and where we are (London) 100s of little Max's at the moment.
also love

I think of golden labradors when I think of Rex (sorry to anyone with a Rex)
