I need some ideas for a traditional boys name as we can't agree on anything. We already have a Louis and I want something old fashsioned and not too popular to go with it.
I like Miles. Husband likes Finn but I think it's too popular now.
Please help!!!!

I don't like Miles but very much like Finn. All the above names are all very up and coming so will probably be very popular in 5-10 years.

How about Albert?? Finn is WAY too popular now - I know SEVEN between the ages of 0 and 8!!

Humphrey...Humf for short. Don't know about trendy but I love it.

Jonah too.

Dominic? It was my favourite for a boy but DH vetoed it. Fortunately for him we had a girl Smile

Finn is incredibly popular round here, so I'd avoid it on that basis. Miles is ok, but sounds like the plural of Mile to me Smile.

Some good suggestions already. I particularly like

Arthur
Quentin
Tobias
Lucian

I like Miles much more than Finn,
but I like Giles even more than Miles

Other options
