Traditional names to go with Andrew

[TGLucie]

Hey!

We've decided our Little Boy with have Andrew as their middle name after both our Dads but can't decide on a first name to go with Andrew.

We both was something traditional but not something that would sound like a middle aged man...like Barry...

Surname will be Hall.

Any ideas welcomed!

Peter

Benjamin
Nicholas
Jacob

Jonathan
Dominic
Edward
William

Duncan
Timothy
Daniel
Gabriel
Noel
Gideon
Travis

And I actually really love Neil. I know it’s properly old school but the sound of it is nice to hear.

James sprung to mind

Like James. Could also consider John, Mark or Christopher.

I came on to say James as well

Charles.

Another vote for James.

My dad is a James Andrew so I vote for that too!

You could either go super traditional (never out of the top 100 in the last century)- so: James, Thomas, George, Charles, William, Edward.

Or uncommon traditional (so well known but not very popular at the moment - like Andrew) so: Peter, Phillip, John, Robert, Hugh, Nicholas, Laurence, Nathaniel, Jonathan, Mark etc.

Or try to meet in the middle with names that are classic and popular but that are outside top 10 currently: Samuel, Daniel, Jacob, Gabriel, Joseph, Joshua, Henry, Frederick, Benjamin, Matthew, David, Michael.

If you want to avoid true "middle aged man " names (for instance Andrew is more of a Dad name currently but is a classic/traditional name so will never truely go away) then just avoid names like Alan, Brian, Martin etc as they will likely take a while to return.

Christopher

Thomas

Henry Andrew Hall has a nice ring to it!
