Just kidding! Now I have your attention, please rank these mostly 'vintage' names from best to worst. Please also vote for your favourite in the poll if you can see it. Surname's Cooper. Cheers!

Lawrence
Edmund
Edwin
Robert
Philip
Walter

My DD has a second cousin called Lorenzo...

I like Lawrence/Laurence and Robert. Nn Bobby?

I love Walter, Wally for short!

Robert or Philip. Both fab
Would you consider Christopher?

I am of an age to not be able to get past "Walter the Softy" in the Beano, mortal enemy of Dennis the Menace. Made Jacob Rees Mogg (who greatly resembles him) look like the Terminator.

All good names apart from that, I think Edmund is under used.

Henry.
I'd suggest Dominic but I don't like Dom. Chris/Kit Cooper is a bit too much.

I love the name Walter and whilst it’s in the vintage theme I could never saddle a child with it as a first name, middle name yes.

Walter’s initials would be WC and Robert would be RC (arsey)
