Relatively traditional names for a boy?

[CarrotVan]

I am really struggling with possible names for the baby I'm expecting. For girls we have lots of options but for boys we used them all up on DS1 or there's a close relative with the name.

So any thoughts for relatively traditional, can be shortened if wanted, doesn't end in an M, doesn't start with S or A?

I like Nathaniel, Ludovic, Nicholas, and Felix - DH less so

I think Phillip goes very well with Alexander.

Lance
William
Duncan
Andrew

I like Daniel with Danny or Dan as a nn. The names you like seem quite regal, Louis and Henry seem to fit well with that brief.

Yes, I also like Patrick and Louis.

Nobody ever mentions my second choice (I have a DS & DD):
Victor.

Other firm faves:
Felix
Max
Hugo
Hector
Leonard (Leo)
Barnaby
Lewis
Ellis
Magnus
Nicholas
Peter
Jasper

I do know a lively little Nathaniel & dito Felix so all good connotations.

Jude
Eric

Austen

Callum
Dominic
Edward
Ferdinand
Gabriel
Hector
Iain
Joshua

Jasper

I love your original suggestion of Ludovic / Ludo, Felix and Nathaniel, can you not persuade OH? I like his Magnus too...

All of my boys names are here - the next one (if we have a fourth!) would be Christopher (Kit).

DH is possibly ok with Felix and a couple of others. He's even fussier than I am!

Roderic? Similar to Frederick.
