Old fashioned boys names

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.

I’ve got a Francis.
I'm so in love with Francis.

It's a shame DH isn't a fan. I'm jealous

Christopher is quite old fashioned now I think. Depends how old fashioned you want to go I should think?

Bearcub01 · 29/09/2020 21:14

I really like Jasper as mentioned above. Old but not too popular.

Maybe not old fashioned as such but someone I know just named their baby Travis. I thought it was quite cool as it’s not a name of any babies I’ve heard of.

I have a Robert - I don't see it as old fashioned tbh but I don't know of any other children with his name.

I really like Giles but DH vetoed...
