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!

Sounds morbid but I too agree with having a casual stroll around a graveyard! Some old names will surprise you. My nephew is called Lennox which is actually Shakespearean and a common ‘old man name’, another variation would be Leonard (Len) as well.

I’m a district nurse and work all my patients are nearly ‘old men’ ha, a few different/slightly irregular ones:

Wilbur
Frank
Clement
Monty
Roland
Edwin
Bernard

Reg

Amos. I love the name Amos.
Wilf
Ted
Ned
Seth

If you wanna go posh sounding
Winston
Cedric
Digby (ok full disclosure this is my dogs name)

Albert won’t be albie - they’ll become Bertie. I own one and no one has ever called him Albie.
