Traditional boys name

Struggling with a boys name for our baby due in a few months. I quite like traditional strong names, ideally more than one syllable because of our surname. Please can you give me ideas.

I find traditional names quite boring for the most part, the ones I do like are:
Frank (Francis for more syllables)
Alistair
Eric

I think Hector is a 'strong' sounding name, though not sure it could be classed as traditional.

I love Christopher

Don't do what a relative of mine has done and make up a name! I for one, cannot stand made up names.. they named their baby boy Quinton when I'm pretty sure they were thinking of the actual name: Quentin

Drives me mad 😂
