Old-fashioned boy names that work today!

[Taggys]

Hello,

We are struggling to decide on a boy's name. I like old-fashioned baby names...but they have to feel fresh and not too old-man if you know what I mean.

Big sister is called Agnes. Which one of these baby boy names do you think go with her name?

Otto
August
Edmund (Eddie)
Rufus
Bernhard (Barney)
Timothy (Timo)
^^

Ooh I love Ralph as a boysname (Lord of the Flies hero)

If DD had been a DS , she'd have been Victor (Vic) or Zac

And we had a guinea-pig that DD called Bert . There is no better , solid, dependable old mans name than "Bert" (not Bertie)

Arnold

Anthea
Crispen sp- I’m not sure if it’s vintage or it’s age

I like them all but prefer Barnaby as a long name for Barney

Also why do we think Otto is trendy? It's on my list for a boy but I can't work out how popular it is because it wasn't in the top 100 in 2021 and we don't know any.

I love Otto and Agnes. I regret not calling my DD Agnes.

Can I also suggest Christie, Hector and Hughie.

Another vote for the chancellor Otto.
My dear friend Agnes has a brother called Oskar, which I also like.

Winston! Win is such a strong nickname too!

From your list, I like Agnes and Edmund (Ned)
I also like…
Agnes and Sidney (Sid)
Agnes and Harold (Hal)
Agnes and Wilfred (Wilf)
Agnes and Wolfgang (Wolf)

I like Edmund, but not Eddie, I hate shortened names.

Rufus is nice too

Stanley
Arthur

Edmund
Quentin
Vincent

I like Edgar
and Barney but I would go for Barnabus or Barnaby
Walter
Lionel
Dorian
Fabian
Ernest
Valiant

Hector?

Laurie

I love Amos but not sure it would work with Agnes

I like Edmund and Edgar.

what about
Raymond
Roland
Sebastian
Charles
Guy

Hector (love this)
Noah

Clement

Austin

Hubert

Lawrence

Francis

Love Edgar, DD was nealy Agnes or Agatha.

If she was a boy it was going to be Wilfred.
