Help me!
We have a very common welsh surname that isn't Davis or Kelly.
Husband is Welsh. I am not. We live in the north.
We like traditional names. I'm a teacher so it's making this very hard. We have an Alexander (Alex) I like names that can be shortened. Second boy due very very soon
So far:
Sam
Max
Ollie
But haven't settled on anything.
Help!! Open to suggestions

Liking some but lots used by family.
Can't have Tom thanks to famous welsh singer sharing surname.
I like Matthew but that's my cousin
My boss is called Nick
Don't want alliteration

I really like Max!
Alexander is lovely and I think pairs well with another longer classic like Sebastian, William, Benjamin or Jonathan.
