Cockney old man names!

36 replies

Youmustnothoponpop · 01/10/2014 22:20

I am desperately seeking a cockney old man name for DS2! DS1 is Frederick/ Freddie so would like something that can be similarly formal and also has a cute nn.

I know these names are so popular now but would really like to find one less common that won't make him one of five in his class!! Any ideas?

We are considering Reginald/ Reggie but I'm wondering if that is becoming very popular now. Have you met many?

I was just going to suggest Stanley, but Pumpkin beat me to it. I know a teenage Stan & it really suits him.

Sidney or Alfred could be other options.

I know someone who has a Ronnie, Freddie and Bertie. I have a Stanley / Stan.
