I loved reading the thread on the old lady names. Which are your favourite old man names?

Mine is Francis but DP vetoed

I wonder if Gary or Wayne will be on one of these old man threads one day?

I really like Gary!

Not sure I'm quite ready for the Wayne revival, though.

I know quite a few 11/12y old Arthurs and Stanleys and Vincents so they no longer seem like old man names to me now.

The heading for old man names now are Malcolm, Nigel, Andy, Mike, Dave, Simon etc
