I’m writing a project on two gay teenage boys in the 60s and desperately need names that aren’t typical like “Paul”, “Robert”, etc. I want them to be memorable, but not too distinct. all help is appreciated !

The names that were popular in that time are going to be pretty typical, but here are a few I personally like that were popular in the 50s & 60s:
(Sorry if this isn’t what you’re looking for!)
