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!

Going to completely out myself here but I have a Raymond (ray) you never get any other children called that these days. Shout it in a park and get a few old men look round but that's it.

Victor
Ernest
Franklin

If you like Albert could you preempt Albie and call him Bertie for short? I would have thought Bertie would be more likely anyway?

A few from.my family:
Harold
Clifford
Hedley
Douglas
Hubert
Leon
Leopold
Edward (Ted)

I really dislike nicknames or short versions of a name. If I choose a name it's because I like it and want him to be called it, imo Albert and Bertie are completely different names

Rex (oh wouldn't it be luvvverleeeeeeee)

I've got a Bob (though his name is Robert on BC) and if I'd had another DS we would have called him Royston.

I'm not keen on Rupert (you know he'll likely be called Roo?).

Other names I can think of:

Geoffrey/Jeffrey
Colin
Martin
Charles
Alan
Malcolm
Paul
Lionel
John
Harold (could shorten to Hal rather than Harry)
William
Bertram
Andrew
Peter
Kevin
Gavin
Thomas
Michael
Christopher
Saint John
Sidmund
Quentin
Reginald
Clive
Vincent
Jack
Jedediah
Kingsley
Philip
Horatio
Acton
Art/Arthur
Terrence
Dudley
Ronald

I have a Dennis. Although it does make a lot of people think of "the Menace" not far off the mark if I'm honest

Nigel
Douglas
Bernard
Harold
Edward
John
Alfred
Jasper
Donald

If not Mabel, how about Abel?

Failing that:
Clarence
Charles
Kenneth
Maurice
Howard

Ohhh I had a big crush on a Raymond...

If DD2 had been a boy she would have been one of the following...

Dennis
Stanley
John

But only because DH vetoed Hamish.

My grandfather is called Rufus. I love it! If I’d have had a son, I would’ve named him after him.

I love Wilfred..Wilf or Fred for short
Ted...had a great uncle Ted
Frank...my step grandfather
Ernie...just because I think it's cool!

You’d hate my choices OP - I’ve got a Bertie and a Freddie (Albert and Alfred!)

Bertie
Robert
John
Jack

Rupert is really lovely. I also like Digby.
