[name]Hi[/name] guys! 
I’m looking for some humble, unpretentious names, preferably ones that aren’t currently trendy. Strong and friendly names. I especially need a boys’ name like this. A nickname form would work, too.
I’ve bounced Leo, James (Jamie?), and Julius (Jules?) in my head.
Any suggestions at all would be super helpful!
Thank you,
[name]Nicole[/name]
[name]Leo[/name] and [name]James[/name] are great. [name]Julius[/name], not so much - I immediately think of [name]Julius[/name] Cesear and that’s a pretty grandiose association.
A few more suggestions: [name]Henry[/name]/[name]Harry[/name], [name]Harvey[/name], [name]Jeffrey[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Christopher[/name]
For girls: [name]Anne[/name]/[name]Annie[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Frances[/name]
I agree [name]Julius[/name] is a very pretentious name! I thought of [name]Thomas[/name] nn [name]Tommy[/name]
[name]Charlie[/name]: the friendliest and least pretentious name there is.
I also like [name]Nella[/name] for a girl.
I agree with [name]Charlie[/name] - also [name]Freddie[/name]. Very friendly and salt of the earth.
I do like [name]Charlie[/name], but it has so recently experienced a hike in popularity that I am warded off.
Right now I’m leaning towards [name]James[/name], with [name]Leo[/name] a close second. 
I like the suggestion of [name]Nella[/name]!
What about [name]Hugo[/name]? [name]Hughie[/name] could be his nn - I knew a [name]Hugh[/name] nn [name]Hughie[/name] and it totally worked.
[name]Charlie[/name] for sure!
[name]Terry[/name]. [name]Andy[/name].
[name]George[/name], nn [name]Geordie[/name]
[name]James[/name], nn [name]Jem[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name], nn [name]Tom[/name]
[name]Charles[/name], nn Chae
[name]Albert[/name], nn [name]Bertie[/name]
[name]Robert[/name], nn [name]Rob[/name]/[name]Rab[/name]
[name]Gilbert[/name], nn [name]Gib[/name]
I was considering [name]Robert[/name], too! I think I’ve decided on [name]James[/name] though. Thanks, guys!
