I really like vintage / granny names for little girls but what are the alternatives for boys?

There's a wool weaving company near me called "Zaccheus Hinchcliffe and Sons" and a haulage company called "Claude Hellowell". I do a lot of driving and see their wagons out a lot.

I imagine Claude and Zaccheus to be old chaps, best friends, putting the world to rights in the public bar of an old stone pub, over a couple of pints of bitter.
