I think I'd out myself.

Surprised not to have seen more Jetemy's, Julian's, Tonys and Keiths

DF is Geoff.

FiL is Richard.

I like Richard a lot, to me it's a classic boys name that hasn't dated, also the name of one of my best friends - but don't think DH would have chosen to name a son after his father.

Geoff on the other hand I doubt is going to make a comeback any time soon....

Malcolm - can't quite believe I'm the first on here.

Oliver Malcolm works well..... But I wouldn't recommend it Grin

My dad's Daniel (goes by Dan).

My friend's dad is Herman - sounded dated even when we were little and the poor dos was barely into his thirties.

My dad- Andrew (Andy/drew)
FIL- Joseph

My dad was known as Andy at work and Drew everywhere else

DurhamDurham · 11/03/2016 22:24

My dad is Michael
My fil is Gerald

If we'd had a boy he would have been named after my dad as Michael is classic and rimless but Gerald not so much so.

weebarra · 11/03/2016 22:33

Dad is Malcolm
FIL is Ross
Both are my boys' middle names.

eachtigertires · 11/03/2016 23:43

Our dad's are Harry and Michael.

Oddly on either side of the family we have those names duplicated.... ie my dad is Michael and DP sibling is Michael

HackerFucker22 · 12/03/2016 16:38

FIL is Harry and my sibling is Harry.
