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

Joseph

realised I don’t actually know any of the others !

Francis and Charles

All four of mine were called William!
Born around 1890s.

George
John
Wilfred
Unsure on the 4th

Interestingly we've chosen wilfred (wilf) for ds1 due later this year before knowing of the family connection.

One was Ezekiel but I have no idea with the others.

Robert and Frederick

No idea!

William, Frederick, Samuel and John

Archibald

Thomas
William
Jack
Huw

Herbert, Frederick, Arthur, William

My grandfather was called Ken, don't ask about my fathers side because I do not know unfortunately

My great grandfather on my mothers side was called Oliver too. Sorry didn't realise we were doing the greats too 😂

George, Joseph, John (I think) and I can't remember the other one.

Frederick
Jack
Alexander
James

Agar (paternal)
William (maternal)

Not sure Agar will EVER make a come-back...but it's a pretty splendid moniker 🤣🤣🤣

Lyle
Leo
Neville
Donald

Leonard & Robert

Norman and Clearance. Don't know the other 2

James
John

All my great grandfathers on both sides and both grandfathers were called William/Bill. Very popular in the West Midlands in the 1900's apparently.

Francis
William
George
Erich (with an H, he was German)

This thread has got me thinking, I have no idea what their names were. I shall be asking my parents.

Daniel
Harry
Joseph
William

All seem fairly standard these days.
