Traditional boys names, like James but not James

[threeinthebed]

Hi, this is my first mumsnet posting!

I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant with DC2, and I am already thinking about names. DS1 is James, which I love because it is traditional and timeless.

I am looking for other traditional boys names, so please give me your suggestions!

Thanks

Edward
Thomas
Samuel
Henry
Oliver
John
Adam
William
Charles
David
Michael
Peter
Robert
Stephen

Welcome

If you like traditional names, how about

George
William
Samuel
Edward
John
Charles
Daniel
Thomas
Alexander
Benjamin
Henry
Nathaniel
David
Richard
Lawrence
Frederick
Timothy
Adam
Nicholas
Isaac
Maximillian
Gregor y
Neil
Aaron

Like all the above.

Also

Christopher
Alex(ander)
Phillip

DAVID - would be my choice. Much underused these days. It was my DF's name - Davie to his mum and Dave to his friends, David at work.

Quentin
Charles
William
Tobias
Alexander
George
Philip

Thanks for these! I like almost all of them George is one of James's middle names (I love this bit DH vetoed it as a first name), and William is a possibility for a middle name if we have another boy

David
Andrew
Peter
Robert
Matthew
John/Jonathan

Edward
Peter
Richard
Matthew
Simon
Philip
Stephen
Alexander
Robert
Charles
Timothy
Daniel

I have a Patrick Joseph, a William John and if yellow bump is a boy will be Daniel Jacob.
Any good?

Your DS's have great names flopsy

Simon
Anthony
Daniel
Adam

Matthew
Patrick (again)

If you like James then these are similar IME (ie popular at the same time and to the same degree)

Oliver
Matthew
Daniel
Joseph
William
Thomas
Benjamin

My DS1 is James and his brothers are Robert and Alexander. I love traditional names too.

I love the name James but couldn't use it. My 2 are called Samuel & Adam if that helps!

Wonderful suggestions! Few from me...
