There is probably one already floating around Nameberry, but do you mind sharing boys names you would find endearingly clunky and sweet? Like if you saw a little elderly man eating alone in a diner and you wanted to go talk about the war with him? Is that the vibe I’m after? 
But something that would actually be wearable for a modern child/man.
I will always and forever advocate for Wilbur, and I think it encapsulates what I’m talking about being so clunky that it’s endearing.

We know someone who just named their boy [name_m]Wallace[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] and are nicknaming him “Wally”.
[name_f][/name_f]
I know a [name_m]Clive[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_m]Leland[/name_m], [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m], [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m], [name_m]Ralph[/name_m] and [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m].
This is exactly my naming style. I have [name_m]Grover[/name_m] high up on my boys list, and a dog named Walter;)
