Cockney old man names!

36 replies

Youmustnothoponpop · 01/10/2014 22:20

I am desperately seeking a cockney old man name for DS2! DS1 is Frederick/ Freddie so would like something that can be similarly formal and also has a cute nn.

I know these names are so popular now but would really like to find one less common that won't make him one of five in his class!! Any ideas?

We are considering Reginald/ Reggie but I'm wondering if that is becoming very popular now. Have you met many?

Yes, these old man names are very much having a moment in the UK right now.

Maybe not so much Raymond, Ernest, Ronnie, Clarence, Douglas, Donald and Terry, but most of the others are popular to varying degrees.

I've met one baby Reggie but I would say its very unusual.
Really like Bobby and Vincent

Alfie is REALLY popular now, there are 3 at one of the baby groups I go to, no other duplicated names.
Love Reggie Smile can't think of any not been mentioned.

While I don't like it myself, I think Dennis has not yet hit the new wave of old faithfuls...
