Hugh
Jonathan

Christopher
Daniel

Andrew
David
Peter
Michael
Paul
Philip
Martin
Scott
Craig

Jonathan (Jonty)

Simeon

Zebulon

Englebert

John

Surely due a revival... cute nickname of Johnny too for a young child. Surprised it hasn't come back into fashion yet.

I know two teenage John/Johnnys - was considering it for my now 18 year old as well.
I do really like Peter and Douglas and was considering both of those as well! Also like Paul.
There was a small Roger at the swimming pool the other day.

Kenneth
Rex
Hector
Jeremy
Robert

My son's name is mentioned here. I know a Nicholas of the same age. I'm surprised there's not many of either.

Peter is definitely due a comeback

Youngest John I know is 13. I know a Jonathan too and he goes by Jonno. Also 13. My son’s football team have a Michael and 2 David’s!
We are in Ireland and falling over Daniel’s.
I’ve always liked the name Donal. Don’t hear that much anymore.
Paul is a good strong name. It never made a comeback, youngest one I know is 22.

I know young teenage Peter, Paul, Robert, Nicholas, Gregory and Laurence.

Peter
David
Philip
Simon
Andrew
John
Robert

My Grandfather was Ebenezer (Neb) don't know if that will ever come back.

Patrick
Edward
Christopher

Ds(10) is Christopher . He is the only one in his school .
i would like to see Johnathan make a comeback . Also Martin and Peter .

Love the name Laurence \ Laurie

There's loads of Edwards still.

Julian
Jonathan
Alistair
Nathaniel
Robert

(We've known several young boys called Peter, David, Stephen and Michael so I've never really thought of them as having gone out of fashion.)

Richard
David

Love Hugh

I've decided I rather like the name Malcolm
I do know one David under 10, but it is quite unusual now
