I appreciate this thread has been started 1,000 times already. We are struggling so much with a boys name but have agreed we both like old man names. Trust me that's a start! We still have 8 weeks or so, plenty of time! Names we like but can't use:
Jack
Harry
Alfie

Thank you x

Well. I depend what you think of as old fashioned depends on how old you are. All of the names suggested by ilive are perfectly normal names of my contemporaries.

That's because those names are 'classic' cheer, not because you're old!
