Traditional boy name?

25 replies

Vap0 · 07/03/2018 23:54

We have a girls name picked out - Bridget
We like names which are quite traditional, difficult to shorten and hopefully not in the top 50/100.

A lot of the boy names we like have been used by friends

Elliott
Wilfred
Frederick
Urm, can’t think of others at the min

I have a leaning towards Derek at the minute

Any suggestions?

My favourite traditional but underused names are Matthew and Daniel.

Martin and Simon aren't used enough imo.

Catrina1234 · 11/03/2018 22:53

Derek is dreadful sorry - is it a joke, but then so is Cedric and lots of others in these lists.

NC4Now · 11/03/2018 22:57

Don’t call him Derek - that’s a joke name! The poor kid has to wear it for life.
