We really struggled to name our first boy and now looking for inspiration for number two! We want something classic but outside the top 20! Any ideas very welcome…

Michael is my all time favourite name that is a classic but not so popular now. I couldn't use it as it is the name of a close relation of dh and he vetoed it but I would suggest it fits your criteria.

Otherwise:
Samuel
Robert
John
David
All strong traditional boys' names imo.

It might be worth looking at behindthename.com for popularity too. It shows that Lucas was in the top 25 in both England and Wales and Scotland within the last three years.
