I'm posting for my sister, they like Edward but not the nn that go. They prefer traditional, not bothered by popularity necessarily as they want a name they like. They like James and George but can't have. They also like Athol, Alistair, Matthew, Andrew....you get the idea?
Your help will be appreciated!

Thanks Flora, They quite like Blair too. I'll pass these on.

If they like Athol they might also like Blair (Scottish joke).

More Scottish classics = Donald, Dougal/Dugald, Rory/Ruari, Duncan, Charles, Magnus, Fergus ...

Back to general English-language classics, there is also:
Paul, Stephen, Laurence, Michael, Jonathan, Adam, Mark/Marcus, Arthur, Albert, Walter

How did Athol get into their list of bog-standard names? I'm intrigued!
