I need some ideas for a traditional boys name as we can't agree on anything. We already have a Louis and I want something old fashsioned and not too popular to go with it.
I like Miles. Husband likes Finn but I think it's too popular now.
Please help!!!!

How about Phinneus/Phineas/Phinneas instead of Finn?

Albie would go well with Louis.

I like Miles much more than Finn,
but I like Giles even more than Miles

Other options

Robin
Edgar
Gregory
Guy

Finn is incredibly popular round here, so I'd avoid it on that basis. Miles is ok, but sounds like the plural of Mile to me Smile.

Some good suggestions already. I particularly like

Arthur
Quentin
Tobias
Lucian

Dominic? It was my favourite for a boy but DH vetoed it. Fortunately for him we had a girl Smile
