My dad's Daniel (goes by Dan).

My friend's dad is Herman - sounded dated even when we were little and the poor dos was barely into his thirties.

Neil.

Michael. Oliver Michael sounds ok, I think.

Malcolm - can't quite believe I'm the first on here.

Oliver Malcolm works well..... But I wouldn't recommend it Grin

DF is Geoff.

FiL is Richard.

I like Richard a lot, to me it's a classic boys name that hasn't dated, also the name of one of my best friends - but don't think DH would have chosen to name a son after his father.

Geoff on the other hand I doubt is going to make a comeback any time soon....

BeaufortBelle · 11/03/2016 21:40

I think I'd out myself.

Surprised not to have seen more Jetemy's, Julian's, Tonys and Keiths

Laska5772 · 11/03/2016 21:38

Gordon and (FIL) Frank

.... First ones on here I think..

elQuintoConyo · 11/03/2016 21:36

DF's name is the same as that starfish fella off Spongebob. Kinda cool actually. Sorry, not typing it!

Fil's is Spanish, not sure you'll be wanting that. Although a nickname could be Fonzie Grin

Eamonn. And today my little boy decided he wanted his middle name to be Eamonn (we just gave him a first name) because he loves his Grandad so much.

Toraleistripe · 11/03/2016 21:21

Bernard. However my dad was born in the 1920s (just). My brother born in the 1950s is Robert.

Hulababy · 11/03/2016 21:16

My dad is called Roy
My FIL is John.

BTW, re your earlier comment, I think Oliver John works fine.

DafferDill · 11/03/2016 21:13

The three fathers ( Fil, df and sf) are Keith, Allan and David, in no particular order.

EvilTwins · 11/03/2016 16:50
