We found out we’re having a boy and I’m really struggling with names! I had lots for a girl, but boys names either feel very traditional or very “out there”.

I like these ones, but I don’t love any of them, so any other suggestions would be great!

Finley
Alexander
Rory
Thomas
Charlie
Arthur

Surname begins with H so I don’t think a name beginning with H would work.

I'd look at names that aren't as popular. e.g.
Alistair
Matthew
Andrew
Richard

All nice but not currenty every other little boy's name

My new favourite boys name is Kaleb think it might make a come back this year !! Also like Harrison, Lewis and Duncan

But the ones on your list I like Finley & Alexander - Alex for short

We have a Matthew, Andrew and Richard in the family so those are a no go, but I’ll add Alistair to the list!

@TheFamousMrEd, those were just random suggestions of names that I think are nice but not 'little boys' names' nowadays.

Peter, Michael, John, David etc ?

Ask your parents/grandparents what their uncles and aunts were called and look for inspiration there?

I like Caleb but Kaleb is dreadful.
