Not sure the sex yet but if its a boy, We are going with the middle names either James Miguel or Andrew Miguel and last name rhymes with talker he will have 2 sisters lillith nn lilly and Juniper nn juni and hoping for a longer name with a ie/y/I sound nn.

Love classic longer names

Theodore nn teddy
Fredrick nn Freddy
Alfred nn alfie or freddy
William nn Liam or will
and more recent cool names like
Levi
Hunter
Hudson
Mason
Archer
Arlo
Or unisex names like Spencer, Jordan, Parker
Finnley

Any help much appreciated

I really like most of your names although I would probably go with Frederick rather than Fredrick, and Finley, or just Finn. Think Theodore/Teddy is my favourite, then Frederick/ Freddy.
I also like Bertram/ Bertie and Franklin/ Frankie.

I like Frederick and Arlo.

How about Austin, Quentin or Reuben?

I like Teddy, Freddie, Alfred and Finn but there are a gazillion of them, and also many many Liams. Arlo and Levi I quite like but they are very of this moment. Not keen on the rest

ideas -

Nathaniel nn Nate
Dominic or Nicholas nn Nico
Christopher nn Kit
Elijah nn Eli
Zachary nn Zach
Tobias nn Toby
Rafferty or Raphael nn Raff
Jonathan nn Johnny
Sebastian nn Seb or Bash
Alexander or Alistair nn Alex, Sandy, Ally
Maximilian nn Max
James nn Jimmy

Ernest nn Ernie
Arthur nn Artie
Arnold nn Arnie
Leonard nn Lenny
Laurence nn Laurie
Edward nn Eddie or Ned
Francis or Franklin nn Frank
Josiah or Joseph nn Joe
Guy
Jerome
Jethro
Joel
Caleb
Silas
Seth

Those names are really not cool. They're just awful.

Here's a good reason to give Mason a miss: criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Mason_Turner

Or unisex names like Spencer, Jordan, Parker

These are awful, too. Parker is a particular crime against children's names.

Finley (one 'n') is tolerable.

The proper names at the top of your list are all fine (but don't abbreviate William to Liam, because it's chav city).

I completely agree. You can't move for the amount of above names at my dcs school.

The older classics seem to be the least American/chav like William or Jonathan. Do love Alexander however....
