We like but can’t decide on:

Sam / Samuel - with our surname would have same name as a z list celeb, plus DD says it’s a girls name
Jack - bit everywhere at the moment
Finn - worried a bit modern!
Luke - but other cousins in family with that name

Also have drawn a complete blank on middle names. Would like short + longer, or longer + short eg Finn Christopher or Samuel Bob.

Any other similar names we might like? We won’t pick until baby is born as I like to see what fits, but wouldn’t mind a couple more options!

Thanks

Don't call him Finn. They are everywhere at the moment.
Jack is very popular, too popular.
Sam is nice.
Luke/Lucas is currently very popular

All four names are on my list. Luke and Finn are my favourites, and I don't think Finn is too modern.

I also like and think you might like:
Frederick (Fred/Freddie)
Frank
James
Henry
Isaac
Liam
Eric
Jenson
Julian
Dylan
Daniel
Nathan
Callum
Timothy
Anthony

I find Finn very modern. I don't know any Finns over age 20 (although I know a man from Finland in his 40s), whereas I know about 20 young Finns.
