Classical/Old Fashioned Boys Names

[Sweetiemommy]

I am having trouble thinking of another old fashioned boys name to match my first son's name (his great-great grandfather's name). The only other person I would like to honor is my husband's father (Gary, no thanks). So I am trying to think of some other classical names I like.

Nicholas, William, Henry, Steven??? I am not really into any of those. HELP!

Simon, Adam, Wilbur, Noah, Ronald, Harold, Martin

I don't know your first son's name, but I have a Michael. Despite what "they" say about it being so popular, we've rarely met another Michael.

[Itlbokay]

Carter, Caleb, Niles, Myles, Luke, Garrett, Gavin, Eli...

names more like that?

Here's a site with more.

I'm not a big fan of Gary either but what about Garrett, Garrick & Garreth? I actually like all of those names and you could still honor the family member.

Have you tried going to the Social Secrity's name page? You could get the list of the most popular names from 1950 or any year for that matter to get ideas.

I also like:
Vincent, Francis, John, Joseph, Paul, Peter, Simon, Anthony, Louis, Daniel, David, Patrick, James, Theodore, Arthur, Thomas & Charles.

Good luck,
Keri

I love classic boys' names. We have a Timothy James and a Lucas Everett, and other boys' names we've considered are: Henry, Jack (from Jacob, maybe), Joseph, David, Emmitt, Benjamin. I also really like Harry (Harrison).

Carl/Karl, Sam , Harry, Frank, Edward, Robert

My top two boy's names are Cedric and Duncan. They're both pretty classic. Vincent and Sebastian are also nice.

[grace's voice]

We're using Benjamin

If you wanna go really old style, dh's pick is Elmer, after his grandfather. So if we have another son he will be Ryan Elmer.

I really like Garrett as well, that's my brothers MN. We also have a Howard. I love Matthew, Christian, Isaac, Nathan, Nathaniel, all names DH won't let me use!

Nathaniel, Elijah, Thomas, John (Jack) William (Will) , Joseph, Geoffrey (Geoff) those sound classical to me.

[grace's voice]

I also like Wesley... is that weird?

I was just going to recommend the SSA website too. You can put in any year you're interested in, too, and see the top X names (you choose from 1-1000) from that year.
