The thread on grandmothers names has given me loads of inspiration for DC2, so I'm now looking for the same for male names.

Mine were William and Ronald
DH were William and Harry

William and Francis were mine.

I love both names for a boy, particularly my maternal grandfather's name, Francis James.
