Throw your favourites at me please. Not Stanley or Wilfred as we have these in the family

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

BertieBotts · 04/04/2023 20:18

Alfred is my favourite. I like that it can be Alfie or Freddie.

Alexander is a nice classic name too. Not as out of fashion as some of the others though.

WildAloofRebel · 04/04/2023 20:19

The grandads I know are called things like Nigel, Brian, Robert, Terry, Martin, Richard, Keith, David.

But I’m guessing you want a generation or 2 older than that? 😄

WildAloofRebel · 04/04/2023 20:22

Kids I know with vintage sort of names:

Gus
Derrick
Desmond x2

MY grandads: Ron & Mike

My kids': Richard & David plus Campbell/Ray(DSS' grandads)

My grandkids': Paul and ??? (dunno yet, I'm not a grandma for the moment)

Most names being suggested here would be great grandparent or great great grandparent names here. Grandad names would surely be Michael, Steve, Dave, Pete etc based on them being in their fifties or sixties .

WildAloofRebel · 04/04/2023 20:24

Oh and TED. And Fred of course. Absolutely everywhere.

Barney?

DuchessOfSausage · 04/04/2023 20:26

Depends whether the poster means contemporary grandads or our grandads’ generation. I think people generally mean the latter when thinking of fashionable baby names.

Brian, James, Frank and Michael are the ones I know.

WhatFreshHeckle · 04/04/2023 20:37

I love Wilfred (and it actually was my grandfather's name)! But he's long passed away and he HATED his name, so I didn't use it.

His middle name was Francis. Similar era names (to me) would be;

Fergus
Ivan
Donald
Gabe (Gabriel)
Alistair
Billy (William)
Joseph

Justcallmebebes · 04/04/2023 20:37

My lovely grandad was Ronald (Ron) and his brother was Norman

TomatoSandwiches · 04/04/2023 20:38

My son was a grandad at 42. His name has been mentioned on here but among the younger ones.

Nah. I think most people on the thread went for the right era. 1940s/50s onwards.

Yankeedoodlemandy · 04/04/2023 20:41

Well my dad father in law and my friends dads all born in 40s/ 50/ are Mike Mick Steve David etc
