To ask for help naming my son

[LAgeDeRaisin]

It's seemingly impossible. Posting for traffic.

The names I like, Henry, Alfred, Arthur, Frederick/Fred/Freddie are all extremely common around where we are and I don't want him to be one of 11 children in the class called Henry. I love the name Rupert but DH really doesn't so that's out.

For girls we loved Daphne, Florence, Matilda, Rose, Henrietta. There were lots more. I don't know why we are struggling so much with a name for a boy! We have a girl and are delighted to have a boy too.

Suggestions please!!

Other popular names from the early 1900’s

I have an Alfred (Freddie) and an Albert (Bertie). They are the only ones in their respective classes. I've been teaching over 16 years and have only ever met a handful of Freddies.

'Popular' names are less popular than you think.

Going by your original list, how about Edmund, Ivo or Orlando.

helpfulbelle oooh there's loads of Freddies at my school - at least one a class I would say! How strange!

Daniels were ten a penny in kids school. One in every class and three in one class. Seemed to peak a few years ago though .
