We love traditional names, our favourites consist of:

Arthur
Edward
George
Henry
Rupert
Alexander

Our sons name is in the above list.

Any good, strong, traditional names that I can add into the mix?! Due in w couple of weeks and just want to make sure we haven’t missed something we love!

Victor was another I loved but wasn't allowed for our ds.

Herbert or Herbie

My own ds name has been mentioned, not by me.

I love Frederick and also its shortened versions, that could be a contender!

@MrsBonato keep firing them at me! Need all the inspiration we can get... second time round we just haven’t had the opportunity to think about it as much!

Love Albert but hubby isn’t keen 😔

Wilfred is a fab name, but again, there’s quite a big reason we can’t use it 😔

I forgot to add William onto the list!

Sadly Thomas is out , although I really like it, for family reasons we can’t use it.
