Classic 2 syllable Boys Names

[hugebluebump]

We've got one more month to agree on a name for this bump, a boy. We have a short, one syllable surname so are looking for a 2 syllable boys name that isn't necessarily shortened (anything longer will probably). We're keen to avoid very popular (trendy) names but are looking for a classic, traditional name that works for all ages. DH is American, I'm English and we're likely to spend time in both countries.

Here's what we have so far:

Marcus
Quentin
Felix
Conrad
Phillip

Any comments are gratefully received. Thanks.

I like them all but would be least keen on Phillip (which would probably be shortened to Phil as well).

Felix is out if you want to avoid popular/trendy as they are everywhere.
I love Phillip, and the nn Pip - very cute! Conrad is fab,Quentin is nice too, and Marcus is fine, but nothing special.
How about Peter, Albert, Robert, David - very classic and underused.

How about Richard?

I also like Felix but agree it's quite trendy. Philip I'm least keen on (also all the Philips I know are shortened to Phil). I know of one Pip, but he's 6 and it's a NN that really only works on a little boy imo.

I like Conrad best from your list. Dont dislike the others but as previously said Felix is becoming quite popular if that bothers you. My boys are Andrew and Michael, both names with obvious short forms, and no one calls them anything except the full name .
How about
Stephen
Henry
Toby
Owen
Caleb
Leon
Eric

I like Felix and Philip :)

The others are a little too posh for me.

Thanks for the replies so far. I only know of one little Felix so hadn't realised it had become quite popular, so that's helpful to know.

I also like the suggestions of Eric, Peter and Robert.

The problem is our surname is very short and starts with D, so some nicknames would sound very silly. That's why we're keen on a name that hopefully won't be shortened.

I like them all but particularly Marcus and Quentin. Felix is quite popular and Conrad reminds me of Conrad Black. I also like Henry, Leon and Robert.

David, Aaron, Jacob, Austin, Dylan, Francis, Edward, Isaac, Aidan, Adam, Daniel, Andrew, Jerome, Samuel, Edwin, Matthew, Henry, Noah, Jasper, Evan, Xander, Tristan, Richard, Thomas, Patrick, Jonah, Ethan, Michael, Liam, Nathan

Adam
Matthew

Conrad is very nice, haven`t heard it for ages, I also like Marcus but expect it would be shortened to Marc.
I also like Magnus, Ethan, David, Lucas, Rufus and Fraser

All lovely and quite underused. I'm least keen on Felix (as a cat owner I can't shake off the cat food connection) and Philip as I don't like Phil.

I think the most 'timeless' include Conrad, Quentin, Peter, Patrick and Marus. I also like Magnus as suggested by Gluttondressedaslamb.

Conrad is my favourite from your list, and I also like Adam and Magnus from the other suggestions.

I like all of your suggestions, particularly Felix and Quentin (slightly biased as we have one ). How about these
Leon
Tristan
Stefan
Connor
Caspar

I'm least keen on Phillip and Conrad, the others are nice. Agree that Marcus will probably be Marc, so bear that in mind.

How about Tristan, Peter or Arthur?

I like Felix and quentin - don't like the others

Thomas? Adam? Michael ?

I have an Albert, his nickname now is Bertie which is still 2 syllables. Agree Connor and Tristan are lovely and unlikely to be shortened
