We don't know the sex yet but have lots of nice girls names to call our baby expected in May. But boys we are really struggling with. I love Charlie, Thomas and Oliver but these are all in the top ten names.
Other ones I like are Frederick or Edward but DH not keen on either as he doesn't like the nn for them.
Any ideas? Can't begin with an A as have family middle names x2 that start with A and can't begin with H as our surname begins with it.

Jonathan, David and Peter are all fairly traditional but not ridiculously popular.
I like William but not Bill, DH doesn't like Will which I do! I really am not sure on the rest mummy but thanks for suggesting. Sorry I think I must be searching for something that doesn't exist!

I have a Thomas and an Oliver and if dc3 is a boy it will be Max (possibly Maxwell).
Some of these names I think were so overused when I was at school in the 70s that I just sort of don't even consider them. Is that wrong?!
Names like Jonathan, David, Robert, John, Peter were popular in the 70s but aren't any more. I have a Jonathan and he has always been the only one in his class/scout group etc. At the primary school he has recently left there are no boys at all with any of these names.

ng, I know what you mean I am early 70's classes full of Stephens, Garys, Pauls, Michaels and Barrys 
, maybe look further back for a really old traditional one like Bert? (love that )
Daniel would have been high on our list if baby had been a girl. Or Andrew. 
mummy Albert is one of the middle names! Arthur being the other.
Love Albert, or Burt for short (thinking Burt Lancaster)
Sidney
Cyril
Cedric
Reginald - Reg
I just think of Sid Snot sorry, it is a great name I know!
Think I like Sam, not sure on Samuel though....it is quite popular of course.
