Traditional names- William, Christopher, George, Jon(athan), Joseph. Other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Your definition of modern is different than mine. Noah (biblical), Sebastian, and Jason (Greek mythology) are very traditional to me. Jaden is traditional, but I agree Jayden is a modern spelling. Riley is a surname which is pretty traditional, but using it as a first name, especially when it's not in your own family tree, is modern. Ty would be the only one I'd call truly modern. But, using your lists:

Noah William
George Sebastian
Christopher Ty
Joseph Riley
Christopher Jason
Noah Christopher
Christopher Jayden

Suggestions:

Liam Christopher
Joss Riley -- var. of Joseph
Kester Joseph -- var. of Christopher

Good luck! :0)

Sorry I should probably define my meanings! By modern I mean names that are quite popular nowadays that a lot of kids have and by traditional I mean names that you would expect your parent/grandparent to have if that makes sense

I adore Ty. Ty William would be so handsome!
