Helping out a friend

Boy Names
1

A friend of mine is expecting and I’m coming up a bit short with name suggestions (well, not short, I’ve given her about a million, but so far most aren’t sticking)

If its a girl, she wants to name her [name]Sophie[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. For a boy, she’s saying she wants something “unique but not weird”, “solid” and “strong”.

Some she likes (her SO doesn’t necessarily agree, but right now just trying to get some more ideas!) :
[name]Garrett[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Grayson[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]

So, aside from the fact that a lot of those don’t necessarily fit her supposed categories (sigh) any suggestions?

Besides [name]James[/name], she seems very strongly drawn to modern surnames. Some thoughts:

[name]Anderson[/name]
[name]Barclay[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Bradford[/name]
[name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Bryant[/name]
[name]Cabot[/name]
[name]Callahan[/name]
[name]Campbell[/name]
[name]Clayton[/name]
[name]Clinton[/name]
[name]Colton[/name]
[name]Davis[/name]
[name]Dillon[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Gaines[/name]
[name]Grady[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Jacoby[/name]
[name]Keaton[/name]
[name]Kent[/name]
[name]Landon[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]McKinley[/name]
[name]Nelson[/name]
[name]Oakley[/name]
[name]Redmond[/name]
[name]Robinson[/name]

Thanks! She liked [name]Everett[/name], [name]Bennett[/name] and [name]Harrison[/name], so I’m thinking she’s more of a surname-namer after all!
