Classic but not super common boys name

[wishing3]

I like the sound and vibe of the name Alexander, but would prefer something less common. It doesn’t need to be really rare- I’d prefer it if everyone has heard of it. Something where there’s less likely to be lots in the class. Without meaning to offend others, not keen on names I think of as more trend-led/of the moment like Arlo/Albie/ Roman. Not keen on what I’d think of as cheeky chappy names like Ronnie/Alfie. Not keen on more 80s names I see suggested on theses forums like Simon/Peter/Thomas. Names like Vincent/Felix/Quentin bit too left -field for me. Like Laurence but can’t use.
If you didn’t die of boredom reading that, please help !

Conrad. Easy to say, easy to spell and is a bit different.

I see Fraser has already had a mention. Maybe Fergus?

I think it's fine to share a name with a grandad. John is a fab name.

Fraser.

Was actually my top name but ended up not using it because I felt it didn't go with our middle name (family member that I really wanted to honour).

Fred is pretty common IME.

I have a Joseph nn Jos and an Evan. Someone saw Jos’ name on a peg at nursery and named their new baby it 😄 ❤️ love that. I think they’re both perfect friendly names.

Also along the lines of Andrew, David? I know a young one. Davy is cute.
