All the A names, Alfred, Albert and Arthur.

Happymummydays · 18/06/2023 17:32

I have a Stanley and love it!

cheapskatemum · 18/06/2023 18:18

Stanley I'm glad so many others are mentioning it on here. It was my lovely Grandad's name. I have only met 2 young boys called Stanley. It doesn't seem nearly as popular as Arthur, Alfie, Freddie, Archie etc

I also like Cedric. Possibly because of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter.
