Class neutral boy's names?

I am 'posh' and my other half isn't. He is vetoing any names that he thinks will have a boy beaten up in Hull (where we live) which rules out the types of names most of my London friends have gone for, e.g. Monty, Peregrin, Hector. I don't like anything that sounds too ordinary and we both agree that creative spellings are out. The names we agree on are ones like Jack and Harry but they are so popular that there are bound to be at least 4 others in his class. Help! Inspiration needed :-)

There’s no way Liam would be classed as class neutral!!

Great points and comments all, thanks! OH is Hull born and bred - thinking about his 'beating up' comment now, I think it's probably just his way of saying that he doesn't like the types of names that my family and friends go for! And when I say I'm 'posh' I guess it's just because that's the way I'm used to being described up here (because I'm Southern and public school). Although I also work with children - one of my classes recently asked me "Miss, are you posh?"
"It depends on what you mean by 'posh'" I replied.
"Well do you live in Hull, or do you live in one of those fancy places like Beverley or Kirkella?"
"I live in Hull"
"Oh well, you're not posh then".
They're probably right Grin

Oh so that's what you mean by posh. DD taught in Hull and East Riding and the students called her posh, but only because she said Barth and Parth.
I suggest you call your baby Hymer Wink

Definitely do not call him Brian (from Hull)!
Hymers 😁
