Names like Eric but not Eric...

[Paie]

Sorry for another thread by me about baby boy names...
We're less than 2 weeks away from due date and there are no names we like!
We did like Eric for a while but have gone off it now.
Help. Please!

I think you mean ''porch sitter'' names as the naming wizards call them.

I remember liking these names more than the crusty old flat cap names such as Arthur and Wilbur that are popular on mumsnet.

I liked Victor and Howard from this category. Leonard. Jeffrey.

If I think of more I'll type but I gave the book away. I think my son has a porch sitter name.

Gene
Vaughn
Lloyd
Alec

Ernest
Wolfric
Egbert

If you meant names with a scandinavian vibe I've misunderstood

What about Raoul / Ranald?

Raymond is a porch sitter name for sure.

Alaric
Cedric

Love Wilf, only ever met one and he was fantastic.

Emil

Philip, Tony, Frank, Gilbert?

Aaric?

Elliot
Alec

Alex
Lukas

Henrik

I really like Alec.
