Old man/ traditional baby names

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with a baby boy who we can't seem to find a name for. We like traditional old fashioned names that are not used all too often. Also, the middle name will be Paul after a family member so must go with Paul.

Hit me with suggestions please x

missrose0110 · 27/06/2019 10:24

@ohdearymemumof3 Lenny is the only name we can agree on at the minute. I like it, but I don't LOVE it, if that makes sense? Picking a baby name is sooo hard arghh xx

Yeahh i know what you mean😔 and i thought boys names were definitely harder to pick than girls! My daughter is Layla and my son is Layton.. im hoping this baby is a girl because i have the girl name picked put but no clue for a boy haha find out next weekend x

missrose0110 · 27/06/2019 10:29

@ohdearymemumof3 I totally agree! Before we knew what we were having we'd picked out a few girls names that we loved, our favourite was Nora, which I think we would still use if we ever had a girl in the future. Boys names are soo hard xx

Please pick Alan or Terry love these names x

Edward is a very beautiful, old name that not many boys get nowadays. I always thought it sounded majestic and strong - a name to notice.

Richard, as well. Also Arthur, Grayson, Theodore...

Freddy! I have a Freddy, not Frederick, and he’s the most gorgeous curly haired boy. He’s funny, kind, sweet, clever, sporty and I love his name.
