Old fashioned boys names

[Jigglypuff88]

I love the old names. My DS has an old name that is a little unusual but not too unusual. I don’t like any boys names at the moment (I like Stanley but I don’t love it) so would love any suggestions of old fashioned British boys names. Thank you.

Timothy, Stephen, Malcolm, Richard, Percy, Iain, Michael, Dennis, Morris, Peter, Philip

I have a John :)

I have a 25 year old Frank (birth certificate name Francis) was Frankie when he was little, he loves his name, it's uncommon (or was when he was little) and is good for many shortened versions both old and new fashioned.
