Another boys name thread-with a difference....

[Familytree]

...well I think so anyway but I would say that as I need some responses!

We're having a boy and would like some suggestions for names but we're quite fussy in so far as we don't like modern names and would prefer more old fashioned/trad names that aren't used very much IYKWIM. In our immediate family the names we already have are:

Miles
Theodore
Kit
Henry
Dylan
Frank (Francis)
Oscar
Leo

Anyone?
The only one we can think of are Felix and Caspar but they don't make me go "yes! That's it"

Edmund
William
Christopher (Kit)
Jerome
Christian
Nicholas

How could ANYONE not like Cyril and Cecil?

And Percival/Percy. So cute.
