Old man 'cockney' names?

[TheTartOfAsgard]

I already have a Stanley(12).

Looking for some old man type names that will suit ds2 (due beginning of June)

Want something that will carry him throughout all ages. Can't imagine him sitting in a pub when he's in his 60's and introducing himself as a 'riley' or 'blue'

Can't use Reg (one in family) or Bertie (I'm cockney and can't pronounce my 't's' properly.

So far have

Sidney
Lenny
Ron

Anyone think of any more?

Thank you

Does anyone else really want to know what Bacon was a typo for or are we hoping it was a real suggestion?

Ray. I met a baby Ray (named after his Granddad) a few weeks ago and it suited him so perfectly!

Has anyone else said Bacon?
Or Wilf?

Loving Vinnie, Ernie and Larry -

Ray is my dads name, and Darby is my grans mums maiden name!

Intrigued by Bacon. And now hungry!

Wilf means Wally where I come from, as does Rodney

It's got to be Bacon then if Wilf's s non starter

Bacon could work! It fits the criteria

South London- Only fools and horses - the Trotters- pigs trotters- bacon! 🥓

Terence
Robert
Douglas
Howard
Norman
Herbert

Trying to think of all the men on my London side of the family now.

Lots of Jacks. Mick, Steve, Dave. Bruce! I wouldn't recommend that though

Bacon must be an autocorrect for Brian, surely!

Mickey
Freddy

Michael Caine

Oooh I like dougie, I knew a boxer by that name.

Arthur would indeed become 'arfur' in my accent 😂

Good solid names that can be shortened, that gives them options.

Vincent - Vinny
Leonard - Lenny
Raymond - Ray
Reginald - Reggie
James - Jim
Edward - Ed

I love Dougie, it is on my real shortlist, not Ballonz and Bacon

Michael Caine

But his given name was Maurice.
Now that is a good solid name.

Stanley. That's so adorable.
Stanley and
Vinnie
Maurice
Billy
Harry
Alfie
Bobby
Frankie

Billy/Bill
Vinnie
Ray
George
Alfred
Jack
Bobby
Ted/Teddy
Ernie
Maurice
Charlie
Harry
Eugene
Frank

I do like Vinnie from these suggestions.

From all my cockney relatives, and relatives in the older generations there is a trend of having a Sunday name and then a nn that is used all the time, e.g. Harold and Harry, Terance and Terry.

Love Vinnie! And it goes so well with Stanley.

Please let us know what you decide.

Especially if you go with Bacon.

I like Sidney, Sidney and Stanley sound good together.
