Hi, this is my first mumsnet posting!

I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant with DC2, and I am already thinking about names. DS1 is James, which I love because it is traditional and timeless.

I am looking for other traditional boys names, so please give me your suggestions!

Thanks

Thanks for these! I like almost all of them George is one of James's middle names (I love this bit DH vetoed it as a first name), and William is a possibility for a middle name if we have another boy

DAVID - would be my choice. Much underused these days. It was my DF's name - Davie to his mum and Dave to his friends, David at work.
