Classic (maybe even boring) names

I like classic names that have a variety of nn possibilities but are themselves pretty usable names, Elizabeth, Katherine, Charlotte, Victoria for girls. Also loved Amelia before everyone else decided it was cute and recently Meredith has been growing on me, Verity is an absolute favorite but has been taken off the list because of the lack of nn. Girls names I like lots of and its just a case of listing them until DH finds one he likes.

DC2 is due shortly and we have no idea what so ever for boy names, any ideas, along the lines of the girls names we like? Thanks

OP, just seen your update on the family name vs professional name issue.
I am also from this type of family. Remind your DH that the home name doesn't have to be a diminutive of the first Christian name, so shouldn't be a limiting factor.
For example (squaring shoulders not to out self): an aunt of mine was called Elma all her life within the family. Her name was Elizabeth Margaret, likewise a Robert was called Roy within the family even though it isn't short for Robert.
