help name SIL's baby

SIL is due a baby boy in mid-Jan and is struggling with a name, as the sorts of names they like don't go with her DP's surname.

They like 'old man chic' type names. But his surname is King.

So names like Arthur, George etc don't really work, due to 'King Arthur' etc

And names like Stanley don't work, as if shortened to Stan, 'Stan King' is too like stinking.

I have suggested Wilfred, which they quite like. Any other suggestions?

Jonathan King!!! (boodleboot) - er - surely not a great role model...

Like Wilfred. Know a great Wilf. Or Samuel.

Great name suggestions. Thank you. I will pass them all on.

But yes Bellisima - Jonathan has been ruled out for that connection!
