So we are having a baby boy in 2 weeks and there's not any names I really like as none of them sound right. OH loves finley and I like it but it's just a little bit too popular for me.
so any suggestions please?
We would quite like john as a middle name after my grandad.

Finley is fine but Finn and Flynn are popular and he'll probably be Fin.

I really like John and would use it as a first name.

Not keen on the currently trendy names like Arlo, Ezra, Otto, Kit, Elijah etc and prefer more traditional classic names like Philip, David, James, Thomas...

I'd avoid any first names with a B. Intials BJ would bug me personally!
I like the suggestion of Alexander, so many nn options for him.
