Are there any around?

Psst - this thread is a little old. If you’re looking for old-fashioned baby names, these ones are due a comeback. MNHQ

I went to university with a Thadeus ( don't know if that's how it's spelt)

He was called Thad and I always thought it was rather a nice name.

Old-fashioned boys' names are in fashion so you might have trouble finding a nice but rare one.

You should definitely avoid Albert, there are loads!

I know a Stanley as well.

I do like Raymond, Ray for short, and I don't think that's too popular (yet!)
