Old/classic boys names - help needed

[PeanutButterFalcon]

We have had a lovely baby boy and cannot think of a name for him. We have absolutely no idea, the pregnancy was a surprise so I think I hadn’t really thought/cared about it if I’m honest.

we like names that can be shortened, and are more old fashioned and not so popular.

please give me some inspiration. Now he’s here I feel awful he’s got no name

Martin.

Ethelred the Unready nm Eth

It's old fashioned (I can't recall anyone recently with the name) has a royal connection and can be a great excuse at school for not completing homework on time.

I love Francis but not so keen on Frank as a NN; maybe Fran!
I also like Robert shortened either to Rob or Robbie but less keen on Bobby.
Love John with NN Johnny. That’s definitely due a comeback though so you might end up with a more popular name than anticipated.
Patrick with NN Paddy is also great.
Mine are William and Alexander known as Will and Alex since birth. I still like them and there’s far less than I expected there to be at the time. Both are the only ones in their year at senior school although I know there’s 3 Wills in DD’s year.

How about Quentin Albert? Or Ellis Albert?
