Stuck for boys names

[FairfaxAikman]

I have a list as long as my arm for girls (favourites being Emily and Iris) but a very short one for boys.

I generally like traditional male names with a strong short form - the kind of name that makes you think “dependable bloke”

Eg

Thomas/ Tom
Andrew/ Andy
Samuel/Sam
I also like Harry but not keen on David/ Dave.

I do like Alisdair/Ali/Al but DH isn’t keen as it’s his bosses name. And he’s yet to be persuaded on any of MH other suggestions (while refusing to make any of his own)

Can I get a few more suggestions please before I file for divorce?!

Alexander (Alex, Sandy)

Daniel/Dan
Benjamin/Ben
Sebastian/Seb
William/Will
Joseph/Joe
Frederick/Fred
Robert/Rob
Matthew/Matt
Gregory/Greg

Sorry forgot to say that Alexander/ Alex/ Sawney (the lowland Scots version of Sandy) is on my list.

Joshua/Josh
Lucas/Luke
Timothy/Tim
Benjamin/Ben
Daniel/Dan
Nicholas/Nick
Zachary/Zac
Nathaniel/Nathan/Nate
Walter/Walt
Edward/Ed/Eddie
Frederick/Fred/Freddie
Charles/Charlie

My DS is a Harri, short for Harrison (also the Welsh spelling of Harry).

NB his 'proper' name is Harrison but we call him Harri.

Edward/ed
Samuel/Sam
Benjamin/Ben
Christopher/Chris/Kit
Sebastian/Seb
Jonathen/Jon
Peter/Pete
Benedict/Ben
William/Will/Bill

Joseph/Joe
Charles/Charlie
Benjamin/Ben
Edward/Ed/Ted
Frederick/Fred
Daniel/Dan
Christopher/Chris/Kit
James/Jim/Jem
Michael/Mike
Nicholas/Nick
Robert/Rob/Bob
William/Will/Bill

Ruairidh/Roo
Gregor/Greg
Roderick/Roddy

Or just Keir? Strong short and traditional.

I agree re Dave, but Davey is okay I think. Although I know a few who are always David.

Harry is a form of Henry.

Jonathan / Jonny
Andrew / Drew (rather than Andy)
Richard / Ricky
Matthew / Matt
Angus / Gus
Dominic / Dom

Simon/Si

Geoffrey/Geoff
Marcus/Marc
Richard/

Lawrence

Laurie

Peter
John
James
Edward
