Traditional boys names that aren’t too old fashioned or common?

[Mousefunky]

I like traditional names that are timeless so don’t necessarily sound like a grandpa but also aren’t majorly common like George or Thomas.

My favourite name is Sebastian but because DP went to school with one who was a bit of a twat, he has crossed it off. DP likes Raymond after his Grandad but I think it’s too old fashioned and does sound like a Grandpa name. I don’t mind Ray but he won’t have a shortened name.

The only other two names we sort of agree on are Casper and Albert but I’m not overly sold on either. Does anyone have any other ideas?

DP’s name is one of the mentioned so that’s out. I like Patrick and Laurence but DP doesn’t. Tbh, he is just dead set on Raymond which I don’t like. At least I managed to move him past his Dad’s name (Geoffrey) though... sigh.

Oh and I love Felix but he has vetoed it purely because of the cat .

Oh no! Maybe ask him once you've been through the labour and hopefully he will be so in awe of you that he will be a bit more keen on some of the names you prefer 😬

I have a Dominic, we don't meet another one very often, but it's a good classic name.
