I know there have been threads about this, but I can't find any for some reason.
At the moment I'm stuck on Stanley, but DH gone off it a bit because my bro was taking the piss about Flat Stanley.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received.

Wilfrid - regret now not having it as a DS name. And David. Ditto

Edward John was my Dad's Dad (and coincidently my DH's name, too).

My Dad is Theodore, which is quite unusual.

My Dad had a great-uncle Gus, short for Augustus Otto! Love it.

Reginald Harold (Reggie) was born 1897. Frederick Charles (doubt he was ever abbreviated - no-one would have dared) was born around 1885. We do long generation intervals in my family!
