I really don't like old man names at all I think they sound ugly. Why anyone would call someone Fred is beyond me

Arthur is named after my Grandfather and Great Grandfather who was an amazing man who deserved remembering.

I have it when people assume we did it due to Merlin obsessions but I suppose that was inevitable. I'm certainly not compounding that connection with another name!

Not keen on Sam or jack but like all the others. Love Humphrey and would use wild as nick name for Wilfred.

What about:
Hal
Rufus
Llewelyn
Clive
Morris
Digby
Harvey

In an ideal world I would like to keep a family connection. I like names that connect you to ancestors. But that would mean using Jack, Byron, John or Kenneth and I don't think any of those are quite right.

I love Hal. But what would be the full name?

Bertie is sweet too but again, what would be the full name? Egbert is awful and Bertram is weird.

Hal is short for Henry I think.
I love it but not keen on Henry so would have gone for just Hal but dh vetoed it.
