Following on from the grandmother thread, also looking for an old fashioned name for DS

It's in the Bible. That's where they would've got it from. But the parents could've chosen Adam or Matthew, couldn't they?!

One of my GG Grandfathers was Cornelius

Frank
Albert possibly x2

Fred not frank

George
Nicholas
Harry
Unknown

Frederick
Patrick John
Arthur Howard
Owen

Charles
Wilfred
Alfred
Thomas

A generation back, one GG grandfather was from a family that had the most sonorous Biblical names. The boys were (a selection, there were lots) Nehemiah/Ezekiel/Jesse/Jeremiah/Ham/Samson/Naphtali. The girls were all things like Eliza and Jane.

Not chapel and most certainly not teetotal, from what I've heard.

James
George
Edward
Thomas

About as solid and classic as you can get. One Irish, one Scottish, one with Welsh links and one English.

William and George on my Mum’s side, I don’t know my Dad’s, fairly common, but I did have a great great uncle Absalum who I remember visiting as a child.

I only know one of my great grandfather’s names - William - but my grandfathers were both born before the First World War and were Dennis and Eric; both extremely old fashioned names. Are they old fashioned enough for you?

Sidney, William, Thomas, not sure.

I love these names
Mine were Joseph and Alfredo
I had my own Joseph 20 something years ago

Eugene and Vincent

Terence, Francis, Thomas & Arthur
