Traditional Baby Names

Hello, I'm due in January and my partner and I are really struggling to think and agree on baby names. We don't know what we're having so need to think of not F & M names. It's such a big decision but we just don't have a flow of names that we both like. Favourites so far (but still not convinced due to surname pairing) are Albert and Pearl.

Any help would be greatly appreciatedSmile

Pearl, Albert & Audrey make me think of Eastenders 50+ y.o character names which seem to be quite trendy.

Lots of Irises around at the moment. Victoria is nice. Victor for a boy?

I think you are in the grandad space with Albert, Pearl, Audrey more than traditional which is more James, Elizabeth.

Also in the grandad space:
