Old Men names

[Lemonadepie]

Following on from the Old Lady names thread, what are some vintage boys’ names that might see a resurgence? How about

Arthur
Clement
Leonard
Quentin
Raymond
Walter
Wilbur

Reginald
Rosslyn
Cornelius
Ambrose

I think Arthur is fairly common these days??
Gary and Barry definitely need a come back.

I love the names Quentin and Leonard, OP!

Cornelius is also gorgeous but I know someone of that name who is lovely

Arthur is top 10 already. Wilbur and Walter I think are probably coming up in top 300. I think the next ‘old man names’ will be

ernest
vincent
arnold
leonard
sidney
victor
frank
eric
ray
ivor
orson

both of my grandads were called Reggie

Roy

Quentin is horrible.

I think these are due a comeback:
Michael
Victor
Nigel
Brian
Gordon
Norman
John
Raymond
Winston

Dennis
Cecil
Godfrey
Humphrey
Gordon

Dennis and Humphrey are good.

Seymour, Maurice and Bertie.

Bernard
Claude
Philip
Geoffrey
Clifford
Mervyn
Douglas
Roland

I like kings, saints and clan names.

Richard
George
James
William
Stephen
Brendan
Francis
Gregory
John
Ross
Frazer
Bruce
Campbell
Leslie

There are plenty of Arthurs now and a scattering of Walters. There’s a fair amount of Raymonds in the Chinese community.

How about

Gordon
Kenneth
Barry
Roy
Alan

Albert

Horace
Percival
Sylvester
Bertrand
Cornelius
Ramsay
Aloysius
Malcolm
Oswald
Ebeneezer

Derek
Alan
Graham
Colin
Brian
Terence

We have a Leslie at school, and a friend's DS has the middle name Roy, which I love ❤️

I actually quite like Colin

Clive and Martin are my favourites

There's a difference between classic and old man names.

With the girls, Doris is an old lady name whilst Victoria would be a classic.

Old means those that are only seen on much older generations and havent stood the test of time.

Arthur remains a popular classic. John, Edward, etc are classic. They dont date or go out of fashion.

Old man names IMO are names like Brian, Derek, Barry, Gary, etc.

Only two I could think of not already mentioned are:
Bertram
Harold

Arthur made a resurgence years ago, it’s one of the most popular names!

Raymond
Eric
Trevor
Malcolm
Vernon
Melvyn
Raymond
Arthur
Alfred
Henry
John
Timothy
Edward
Frederick
Maurice
Ernest
Bernard
Harold
Leonard
Norman
Kenneth
Walter

I met a baby Rodney recently, cute.

Roland :)
