I'd appreciate any help you could give me with ideas for boys names - not long to go and we still cant agree on a name (we're sorted for girls names)

We like quite traditional names, although are really keen to have a short simple name to go with the rest of the other male names in the family - Max, John, Tom, Will, Nick. Ideally one syllable (max two) and cant end with the 'ie' 'y' sound because of our last name (no to Charlie etc) and also cant start with 'A' (dont ask!)

So far we like James and Jack - but both are fairly common - any other ideas??? (Hopefully we'll have a girl!) Many thanks.

Or these longer names with shorter nicknames
William - Will (although I'd worry about Willy teasing)
Thomas - Tom
Frederick - Fred
Robert - Rob

DS has friends Ian and Neil. Due for a revival?
