Boys names in the same vein as Fred & Arthur?

[fredandginger]

These are my top two names at the moment but DH isn't mad keen on either

Can anyone suggest a few more names that I can put forward, based on my favourites?

I'd like to stay away from top ten names if possible - something strong but not too trendy/modern (i.e. not keen on Max/Finn/Noah, love Fred, Edward/Teddy, Arthur, Henry)

DH has a thing about soft names - I love Wilfred for example but he says it's too soft

16 week scan in a few days, so hoping to get the sex of the baby confirmed... Emmeline is name of choice for a girl

Thank you

Francis Rupert is nice - woudl Frank as a nn be less soft for your dh?

Alexander
John
David
Thomas?

Freddy/Fred
Edward
Edmund
Arthur
George
Felix
Henry (have realised that Horrid Henry is not a good enough reason, although DH knows a Henry called Hen, so is back to saying it's a bit soft - argh!)
Alexander
Francis (although think DH will veto)

What do we think of Nicolas/Nicholas?

Nicholas is lovely. Underused in my opinion.

What about:
Charles
Dominic

Seth

Like Nicholas.

How about:
Ernest
Harry
George
Dominic
Benedict
Douglas
Patrick

??

Hormonalmum - We have Charlie & Dominic in the family... not so keen on Seth

Littlecherublegs, I like Benedict but NN Ben seems a little dull - but Patrick may well be a contender - thanks!

Walter, but I suspect it'd get vetoed.

I like Edward, Felix, Henry, Alexander, Francis and Nicholas.

Fred and Arthur are both "old man" whereas the names on your latest list are more classic.

Just a friendly warning... The names we likes when I was 16 weeks are soooo different to the ones we liked by 42 weeks!

Having said that:

Albert
Francis
Stanley
Harry
Henry
Thomas

Any good?

Thanks Truth - this is DC2 so I know a little of that from last time :)

I do rather like Albert.... !

Love Thomas, but we have a Charlie, Thomas and Joseph in this house already

Herb/ie/et?

What about Timothy? Samuel? Matthew?

I like Edward and George from your updated list.

I'm wondering if there will be more interest in Charles and Edwin this year, WRG to the Charles Dickens bicentenary and the TV completion of Edwin Drood.

I know a male Pip.

I have a George and the only time he got Georgie Porgie was from FIL when he was little. FIL got

Withering look and never happened again

Amos?

Out of your more recent list I would go for Edward.
Good strong solid name.Classic and LOVE LOVE LOVE Teddy as a nn.

Nicholas is a gorgeous name.
Patrick is fab imo.
I like Felix, Francis (Frankie/Frank) and Edmund too.

Henry can have Hank as a nn?

Would you or your DH like

John
Hamish
