Bill, Bob, Brad, Brian, Chris, Chuck, Dan, Dave, Gary, Greg, Jeff, Jerry, Jim, Joe, John, Keith, Kevin, Kyle, Larry, Mark, Matt, Mike, Paul, Pete, Phil, Rick, Scott, Steve, Terry, Tim, Todd, and Tom, to name many examples. Good, solid names that are easy to spell, pronounce, and remember, and that age well and won't hinder impressions to strangers.
The bold are solid 1940s/50s/60s names. People don't name their kids those names much any more. "William" is very popular, but likely to be called "Will". "Charlie" is used either as a proper name or a nickname, but not "Chuck".
Honestly I prefer not traditional names. Common names like Sarah, Hannah, Michael, and Jacob bore me. I prefer names like Alijah/Elijah, Amiri, Micheal (I actually dislike the way it's normally spelled), Jequan, and La'Maya. These are names I've actually seen in real life and I LOVE them. If I ever have kids, I'd love to give them more unique names/gender neutral names, as (for all I know) I could end up with a tomboyish daughter and giving her a cutesy name does her no justice. Or a feminine son, trans kids. Just in case and, in my opinion, super gendered names annoy me.
Of course this is coming from someone who renamed himself to Christian but that's just because I've always loved the name in general .

Just be sure that, if you ever do have kids, you do your research. Many people want an unusual name, but end up with the flavor of the month. Elijah is in the top 10 right now. It's right behind Jacob and Michael.

LOL, yes! My brother and SIL thought "Jennifer" and "Jason" were really unique in 1977 and 1980.
