I need some help brainstorming names that are a bit old-fashioned, not too popular or conventionally handsome. [name_f]My[/name_f] style is pretty hard to pin down — I love names like [name_m]Seymour[/name_m], [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Jethro[/name_m], [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] and [name_m]Basil[/name_m], but I’m lukewarm about Nameberry retro favorites like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]. Any suggestions?
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Ira[/name_u], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]

[name_u]Owen[/name_u]

I do really like [name_u]Owen[/name_u], even though it’s not quite in the same category for me, and [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] is already on my middle name list. Thank you!
