Reuben - which appears to be very much 'in vogue' at the moment.

My FIL is Yehoshua (the original Hebrew form of Joshua), and I can share that without outing myself, because he goes by his Anglicised middle name on a day-to-day basis. He only uses Yehoshua when he's at synagogue.

I do like John, but we are going with Oliver - I'm not sure Oliver John flows very well (John was my grandad's name) Smile

Edward.

My Grandfather was Frederick and if we'd had a son, he'd have been Freddie (if I had my way)

In our family the men of that generation (born 1950s) are:

Andrew
Anthony
David
Donald
Hugh
James
John
Peter

Some repeats too. About half of those are in use nowadays but I don't know baby Donalds or Anthonys or Peters. I wouldn't be surprised to meet one, I just don't know any.
