Old man names

[Namechanger2735]

Just posted this in pregnancy, not realising there was a section for baby names.
Please help!!

Il never find a name I love enough!
So here are the names I like, to give you a clue..but they come with reasons why I won't be using them.
Alfie-too common and reminds me of Alfie moon
Archie-reminds me of Archie Mitchell
not an eastenders addict I swear
Albert- I like albert but Hate "albie" and I just know people will shorten it.
Barney- reminds me too much of the dinosaur
And the same with barnabus plus I think that sounds a bit jokey? Sorry
The front runner at the moment is Rupert.
So I like old names I think, think old peoples home register and hit me with your favourites!

Wilfred and Arthur - my grandads’ names

Henry
Matthias
Frank
Lionel
Alistair
John

Douglas?

Stanley!

I love this name and I have one myself

I really like Wilfred but I know someone with a pug called Wilfred, 'Wilf' for short. Sounds silly but as soon as I know someone especially a dog with the name it spoils it for me

Roderick
Frank
Bernard
Humphrey
Eric
Norman
Terence
John
Sidney

Disclaimer - I wouldn't say these are my favourite names, but they are old man names.

Go and have a wander round your local graveyard and fill your boots!

YY to Frank and Lionel such funny, old-sounding names for a baby IMO.
Also I think Bert, Richard, Stan, Donald and possibly Geoff

You could use Bertie for Albert. A preemptive strike.

Reginald, Reg for short

Oh my goodness yes and Norman as a PP has said haha 😂

Morris
Hector
Cecil
Stuart
Ken
Alan

Trevor

DP vetoed all so we ended up choosing Ronnie

Dougie.
Vinnie
Stanley
Bobby
Richie
Eddie
Alan

Sydney and David Henry, but he was known by a nickname, were the names of my grandfathers.
I wouldn't say favourites but here are some:-
Malcolm

Raymond
Colin
Brian
Horace
Ernest
Algernon
John
Edgar
Cedric

Cecil
Ernest
Clarence
William
Leonard
Frederick

Guy
Geoffrey

Stanley. I knew a baby Stanley a few years ago. Proper cute cheeky chap, his name suited him perfectly.

I’ve got a Percy and a Sidney, with a Stanley due in Jan

I’ve just had a baby Stanley 😍

Graham, Ian, Brian, Alan - all over 50's

Also love Frank and Douglas

I also like percy but "Percy pig" pops into my head!
Please don't be offended, I can't help it!!
I feel like all the names on my list are close to being something I love but just not quite there! Maybe il just do with my girls name, little baby boy Mabel?

mrsbirdseye you're a generation short! I think dads when I hear them, not grandad
