I was watching a history show today and looking into someones genealogy today. The fun names of the day I have are Alpheus nn "Alfie" and Theobald nn "Theo".

---

I also saw an Amos, Alphonse nn "Alfie" was something I thought of because of Alpheus. There was a boy named Diadem which was unusual, there was also Whitaker, Milton, Cornel, Solomon, Lonoza, Wallace, Ashbel, Amariah, Benajah, Eliphalet, Helier, Ambrose, and Elfego.

I'd try harder to help but I decided instead to give you are group of names that mostly fit your criteria that probably no one would suggest.

Ok, so I have a bit of a problem... :)

could you tell us the children's names? i think i'd be easier to help that way.. :)

It's a lot easier to come up with a name when you post the actual sibling names, just so you know. Style helps but it's hard to get the right name for the vibe.
You could try:
Leopold
Albert
Ernest
Francis
Thorpe
Abraham
Browne
Gardner
Tanner

All these names seem to me to fit your "older names/surnames as first names" theme.
