Arthur
Clement
Leonard
Quentin
Raymond
Walter
Wilbur

Roger
Clive
Malcolm

Brian
Lance
Gary
Graham
Barry
Desmond

Philip

Wilfted and Vincent is popular near me. Also know a few bernards.

I know a 12 yo Wilfie, short for Wilfred and a Vincent known as Vinnie.

I think people are confusing dated with classic.

Edmund, Victor and Aubrey... but please don't make them wildly fashionable, because they are on my list! I also have a soft spot for Anthony.

I have met young boys called Peter, John, Vincent (Vinnie) and David. More recently, I've come across a teenager called Michael!

One of my friends newborns is John. I see these names as classics rather than old men names. They don't date. There's always enough of them in the population.Although their popularity may drop a little bit.

I always wonder who looks into a cot and thinks, Ahhh, he looks like a Kenneth.

Lionel
Keith
Clarence
Jeffrey
Ronald
Donald
Terry
Jerry
Roderick
Glen
Ralph
Melvin
Larry

Kenneth is OK. I don't like Keith.

I love Ralph and Wilfred!

They were on my baby name lists but DH vetoed

Isidor

Older male names that I think won't come back because they have the stigma of femininity now:

Meredith
Tracy
Vivian
Hilary
Evelyn
Leslie has already been mentioned
Lyndsay/Lyndsey. Is that one old?

@CoalTit , it's Lindsay and it's a surname as a first name.
Look up Lindsay Hoyle and Lindsay Whittle.

Gavin
Malcolm
Kevin
Paul
Andrew
Barry
Jeff
Brian
David

Me too - I also like the suggestions of Vincent and Orson!

Stanley is my boy name I never got to use. I think wee Stan would be very cute. See also Sidney.

Douglas / Dougie
Gilbert
Nelson
Morris
Walter
Ernest
Ronnie
Howard / Howie
Gregory

Wilfred, James and Matthew are popular.

I work in a preschool. We have had in the past couple of years:

I would love to see more Daves. It's a great name. I'm not sure Baz and Gaz will ever make a comeback. You still don't get Maureens or Eileens.

Clarence
Alvar
Evelyn
Gregory

I know a Godfrey in his 70s who always thought his name was old fashioned.

There’s been a resurge of Arthur for years, I’m tripping over them

Rupert.
Vincent
Cedric.
Jasper
Winston
Horace.
Trevor
