sorry theres so many
[name]William[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Thomas[/name] – Strong, classic and handsome names that will never become ‘dated’. Only drawback is that they can be seen by some as ‘boring’ but that doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
[name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Albert[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Darcy[/name], [name]Alec[/name], [name]Lewis[/name] – These still have the classic feel with a good history too them but are a bit unconventional. They are the cool rebels in the Victorian Gentleman’s Club
[name]Izaac[/name], [name]Malachi[/name], [name]Cristian[/name] – Good historical roots, but again a little more exotic.
[name]Ethan[/name], [name]Austin[/name], [name]Dustin[/name] – Nothing much wrong with these but I just feel like they’re screaming 90s at me.
Maxleigh, Matherson, [name]Darby[/name], [name]Digby[/name] – I get the surname trend, and quite like a few, but these feel like they are trying too hard and come off a little pretentious for me. Sorry 
[name]Zayden[/name] – I can see how this would ‘out-hip’ the Kadens. But in the end, it’s just another ayden name.
Kulan, [name]Tylah[/name], [name]Tayne[/name] – From the spellings to the pronunciations these come off very trendy and would be a headache to keep spelling out all the time.
[name]Billy[/name] – If you like this, I would say use [name]William[/name] with [name]Billy[/name] as a nn. It provides a lot more options and gravitas than just [name]Billy[/name] can provide.
maxwell - I like it, with nickname [name]Max[/name].
william - One of my favorites; classic and cool. Quite common, though, if you’re concerned about that.
ethan - I have personally never liked this name because of an association with a horrible children’s book, so I’m the wrong person to ask about [name]Ethan[/name]!
kulan (said the same ways as kallin) - It seems like the spelling and pronunciation would be big issues, and I’m also not a huge fan of K names for boys.
austin - Good Southern charm.
alec - I much prefer [name]Alexander[/name], but [name]Alec[/name] is interesting too.
albert(albie) - Very cute - an oldie ready for a comeback; I especially like nickname [name]Albie[/name].
billy - I love this, but would advise using [name]William[/name] with nickname [name]Billy[/name].
cristian - I definitely prefer it with an h.
maxliegh - Sounds a bit girly, along the lines of [name]Ashleigh[/name] and [name]Kayleigh[/name].
matherson - Never heard this before, a bit over-the-top but a more unique way to get to [name]Matt[/name] than [name]Matthew[/name], if that’s what you are going for.
james - Classic and classy. Thumbs up.
[name]Izaac[/name] - [name]Isaac[/name] has always been one of my favorites! The z spelling seems slightly like a mistake unless you are of an ethnicity that uses this spelling.
rory - I’ve never quite liked this as a stand-alone name, especially for a boy, but it does have some spunk.
thomas - [name]Love[/name] this; [name]Tom[/name] will never grow old to me, and [name]Thomas[/name] in full is also great.
darby - Not a fan.
tylah - Definitely seems made up and sort of feminine.
zayden - I generally like Z names, but this might seem very trendy.
darcy - Like [name]Darby[/name], I’m not a fan.
malachi - I understand the religious reference, but for some reason I’ve never preferred this.
tayne - Very trendy.
lewis - I like this for it’s old-fashioned charm and historical/literary references.
digby - Hmm…never really heard this, but it reminds me of [name]Darby[/name]/[name]Darcy[/name]…so not really my type.
dustin - Sorry, I guess I just don’t like many D names. [name]Austin[/name] is much better.

[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Alister[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Aidan[/name] even though it is popular
[name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name]
You have a great variety here!
maxwell: I’ve considered this one myself. It’s my first choice for a [name]Max[/name] name and I love the association with the scientist. I sometimes fear the “[name]Maxwell[/name]'s [name]Silver[/name] Hammer” and “[name]Maxwell[/name] House” associations, though.
william: Classic and less used than many other classics, a solid choice
ethan: I like this one, though it’s become quite popular recently. I hope it doesn’t get associated too closely with this decade.
kulan (said the same ways as kallin): Honestly, I would expect the boy would get tired of being called koo-len all the time. If this name is more common in your area then feel free to disregard my ignorance.
austin: a friendly, independent sort of name
alec: I slightly prefer [name]Alex[/name] but this is cool
albert(albie): It’s still a little old-man-ish to me but could work
billy: rough and tumble, cute, hated it as a kid ‘cause it reminded me of “belly,” lol
cristian: Cute
maxliegh: I suspect that with the liegh ending there will be spelling complications and possibly some gender confusion
matherson: A little much, but that’s just my style
james: one of the best classics
[name]Izaac[/name]: A cool name I prefer with the s
rory: Cute, but used frequently for girls (not necessarily a big deal, just depends on your preference)
thomas: [name]Love[/name] it
darby: Cute, but it’s hard for me to evaluate it further because my family has a dog named [name]Darby[/name] and I’ve watched "[name]Darby[/name] O’[name]Gill[/name] and the [name]Little[/name] People" too many times
tylah: [name]Tyler[/name] with an accent 
zayden: It’s a nice sound but I recommend steering clear of any names rhyming with [name]Aiden[/name], just because they are everywhere so he’ll likely be addressed by several variations on those names in a classroom setting: “[name]Aiden[/name]? I mean [name]Jayden[/name]. [name]Hayden[/name]? [name]Zayden[/name]! [name]Zayden[/name], stop interrupted [name]Cayden[/name]!”
darcy: very Pride and Prejudice, cute
malachi: a little daring, very fun
tayne: Meh
lewis: Cute, old-school
digby: I’m a [name]Mitchell[/name] and [name]Webb[/name] fan, so all I can think of is Sir [name]Digby[/name] Chicken [name]Caesar[/name] (granted, most people will probably not think of this). [name]Darby[/name] beats this one.
dustin: I don’t care for the “dust” thing, but it’s alright. I prefer [name]Justin[/name].
