Benjamin/Ben ❤️😍 my favourite boys name ever

Alexander is a true timeless classic - it hasn’t left the top 100 for over 100 years. Neither has William and they make me think of Alexander the Great and William the Conqueror so would definitely be a “strong” sibset.

But other classics that have never left the top 100 are:

Edward
Michael
David
George
James
Thomas
Daniel
Joseph

Saw the title and came to suggest Alexander 😂 So I think I’ve got the brief!

I think they’ve all been suggested, but I think similar names would be:

James
George
William
Henry
Samuel
Benjamin
Thomas
Edward

First thoughts with Alexander (Alex) were:-

Thomas
Joseph
James
William
Matthew

Most of the usual saints names are classics.
Obviously there's a few very unusual ones as well. St Scholastica might raise eyebrows.

Alexander and Edward
