DH and I like classic names but we're struggling to find one we both like.

The below are what we have on our list at the moment:

Alfred
Arthur
Hugh
Emrys

What do you think of these 4, and what could we add to our list?

Other names we like but can't use, for various reasons:

James
Alexander
Thomas
George

Alfred- love this name. I like the nn Freddie, Fred, Al, Alf... not met an Alfred yet myself. (Alfred is on my boys list)

Arthur- I do like but I know a few little boys so would say its too popular for me (may not bother you?)

Hugh - i like and think it goes well eith Edmund!

Emrys- sorry don't like

My first thought when I saw Edmud was Alfred but also I like Hugh!

i have an Edward and loved Hugh for baby no 2, I also felt Magnus worked well

I like Arthur too.

Other possibilities are perhaps

Richard
Robert
John

Congratulations OP! Edmund is a lovely, classic and timeless name. Does Edmund go by any nicknames or shortenings and would you would like DS2 to have a shortening or nickname too if that’s the case?

My first thought was Edmund and Albert
