Follow up from my last post - I'm struggling massively with boys names.

I like David and Robert but am worried they are a bit dull and any son would be one of many. I like Keston but am unsure if it's too unusual. Seth is a definite favourite but then I run out of ideas.

Any suggestions at all? Ideally a little bit retro - anything that would have worked circa 1800-1930 I think.

Personally I think Duncan is a brilliant name. Quite like Seth.

Quentin?

Kester, rather than Keston

There are not many Davids and Roberts these days. I’m a big fan of David so would go for that one. I’m not keen on Seth or Keston or Duncan.

only issue you might have is David might get called Dave which you might feel is a bit dated. Although saying that there’s a David in my daughters school who is ten and he is not a Dave
