Hello!

I'm in a desperate search for a baby boys name.

We love Ronnie but our other son is already named Fred and I'm worried about the Harry Potter Weasley brother connotations, especially as they're also both red heads😂

I love older style names that can shortened like Ronald/Ronnie, Lennon/Lennie.

We have all the obvious ones but I just wondered if there was any others people had come across?

Please no names that end in 'on' as that's what our surname ends in and we don't like how it sounds.

Can't have any Archie, Ozzy, Fred or Reggie vibes because of family members.

Also love Monty but don't love the longer versions and it's important to us we have a longer version.

Please be kind, thanks in advance

I love Artie - usually short for Arthur, which I also think is a lovely name.

Other options:
Rafferty - nickname Raffy
Tobias/Tobiah - nickname Toby
Barnaby - Barney

I’d assume Lennie was short for Leonard not Lennon - I’ve met a couple of toddler ones and that’s the longer version of their name.Works fine with Frederick.

At risk of repeating pp suggestions, I’d guess a Frederick’s ( Fred) brother to be something like:

Robert (Bobby/Bertie)
William (Bill/Billy)
Raymond (Ray)
Abraham ( Bram)
Henry (Hal)
