Boy Names From 1930's

Writers' Corner

For the [name_f]Love[/name_f] Interest in my story, I need boy names that are from the 1930’s. Preferably ones that aren’t crusty and old man-ish. There is a description of him below. Thanks in advance! :smiley:

Description- He looks about eighteen. He has black hair and pretty dark blue eyes. He is tall for his age. His personality is more shy and quiet. I first wanted his name to be [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], but then I realized he was born in 1930, and the name [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] sounds a lot more new and modern. Please help!

Where does he live? What culture is he from? [name_m]Both[/name_m] of these questions are more relevant than what he looks like.

3

He lived in [name_f]England[/name_f]. The culture he came from was more wealthy and rich than most. :slight_smile: Did that help any?

4

What about [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]? nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m]?

[name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]
