Boys names- something classic but not too common

[MySerenity]

We're struggling to agree on boys names for our baby. We've settled on a girl's first name already. We would like something that sounds classic/traditional, but that there won't be 5 of them in their class! Would love some feedback on our current front-runners:

Samson
Tobias/Toby
Reuben
Rory
James
Benjamin

Russell?

At a playgroup I go to, the children sing a song and introduce themselves. 3/4 of the boys are James, Alexander or Benjamin. There's also a couple of Toby's.

Dominic
Henry
Jonathan
Lucas

Sebastian or Evan ?

Forgot Andrew there were about 4 and it's quite uncommon as a baby name now, though last time I said it someone here told me that's what they went for with their baby !

Julian ?

How about Hugh, Jonathan, Guy, Nathaniel, Wilfred, Ivo or Edmund?

We went for Cameron
How about Sebastian, Nathaniel, Andrew

I've got a Robert and people have commented on it being unusual for a baby.

He's Bobby at the moment but you can obvs use Robbie, Rob, Bob, Bobby or even Bertie?

Samson is nice but doesn't strike me as traditional. I like Rory, James and Tobias from your list too.

Other suggestions...
Joseph
Sebastian
Jonathan
Dominic - met a young boy called this the other day - very cute!
Patrick

Benjamin Matthew sounds good to me.

Ive already mentioned Daniel which is high on my list.
Other top contenders are Francis and Rowan.

I like all of them. The trouble is you can get little pockets of popularity with names, so a name might not be that popular nationally but there could still be a few locally.

What about: -

Saul
Ross
Joel
Judd

Dominic
Nicholas
Miles
Gregory

I like Reuben and Tobias.

What about
Hamish
Matthew
Adam
Ross
Leo
Sebastian

Ezra

Theodor would be nice. Very classic.

I love Love love Edward, i think ever since Richard Gere was called Edward in Pretty Woman.

Fredrick
Joel
Bradley/Bobby are cute but classic

Walter
Stanley
Luke
Matthew
Bruce
Percy
Howard
Clarence
Terence
Vincent
Laurence
Peter
John
Stewart

Shamelessly hijacking as I'm after the same sort of name.

DS1 is Benjamin (called Ben day to day though), and DS2 due any day now.

We did consider Benedict for DS1 so as a pp suggested it's an option if you like Ben but want something less common (although I've yet to meet a similar aged Ben - he's 1yr old).

My current list includes:
Thomas (although we have two friends whose DS have this name, and one of the mums has the same first name as me).
Samuel (although my DSis knows two people with boys called Ben with brothers called Samuel).
Charles/Charlie
Edward
Timothy

DH vetoed Noah and Sebastian 😢

Not a fan of the Michael/Stephen/Paul variety as they're names of boys I went to school with and they feel a bit dated (showing my age 😳🤣🤣).

This is the exact dilemma we're having at the moment. DH is a James so that's out , DB is a Matthew, awful ex is Daniel, cousin's son is Thomas. It's so difficult with boys!

"Traditional" names from rank 50-250 in 2016, in rank order. (My own judgement on "trad", of course!)

Luca
Matthew
Luke
Michael
Jude
Albert
Stanley
Gabriel
Louis
Charles
Lewis
Frederick
Nathan
Austin
Caleb
Ezra
Leon
Roman
Jesse
Aaron
Felix
Tobias
Eli
Seth
Robert
Alfred
Owen
Patrick
Joel
John
Nathaniel
Rupert
Christopher
Anthony
Nicholas
Vincent
Jonah
Levi
Jason
Frank
Miles
Peter
Jonathan
Robin
Marcus
Andrew
Myles
Francis
Adrian
Barnaby
Victor
Leonard
Martin
Mark

Some of your list are quite popular or becoming so but are nice names.
I also don't think Samson fits in the same bracket.

I'd suggest :
Gregory
Marcus
Benedict
Sylvester
Lawrence
Blair
Aaron

Nathan
Quentin
Magnus

I know several baby Benjamins so not sure it's that uncommon now, though it's a lovely name. Same with James. Samson and Reuben aren't classic. Toby sounds a bit wet, Tobias is nicer.

Laurence/Lawrence
Johnathon
Joseph
Francis
Edmund
Elliott
Albert
Charles
Frederick
Nicholas
Robert
Peter
David
Walter
Clarence

Christopher
Patrick
Nicholas
Phillip
Benjamin
