Since this post got so many responses on the girls forum I thought I’d see what you berries had to say over here in the boys!
Super simple question… What is your favorite “old [name_m]MAN[/name_m]” name? You know the one that sounds like someones grandpa and yet you still love it!
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] (I know it’s becoming new again, but as it’s my granddad’s name it seems “Grandpa Chic” to me)
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m] (My other granddad’s name )
[name_u]Howard[/name_u], [name_m]Norman[/name_m], [name_u]Glen[/name_u], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Gordon[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_m]Chester[/name_m], [name_m]Nestor[/name_m], [name_u]Stanley[/name_u], [name_m]Morton[/name_m], [name_m]Marvin[/name_m], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_m]Ward[/name_m], [name_u]Wallace[/name_u], [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_m]Hiram[/name_m], you name it.
I do have a soft spot for [name_u]Stanley[/name_u], would call him [name_m]Stan[/name_m], [name_m]Stanislas[/name_m], [name_m]Constant[/name_m], [name_u]Constantine[/name_u], [name_m]Dunstan[/name_m], [name_m]Stanford[/name_m], etc.
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m]! Always [name_m]Alfred[/name_m]!
And [name_m]Albert[/name_m],
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m],
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m],
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m], and
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m]!
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (okay, this is one that I wouldn’t use, but it makes me think of an adorable little old grandpa lol)
Funny, I used to really dislike these types of names, but they sure grew on me!
My oldest son’s name is [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and when he was a baby lots of people said their dad or uncle or grandpa was named [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. So that’s my favorite.
