How old are you looking for?

yorkshirepudsx · 11/01/2023 17:53

Just to add! My first son is called Alfie, not Alfred, just Alfie đŸ™ˆ so I'm looking for something that will sound nice with that, for his little brother đŸ’™

No that makes sense. I just didn't want to give you names from the medieval period when you only wanted Grandad names đŸ˜†

My family tree has the following:

Harold
John
Gordon
Edmund
Geoffrey
Peter
Thomas
Zechariah
