HelpRe: Boys names
in reply to a message by Starfishieclover
Alfie is extremely popular; if you love it, using Alfred would give him the dignity of a full name plus the opportunity to become Red, Riddy or Fred if he likes.
Cole seems very American. Nothing wrong with that, except that it has the same problem as Alfie. If you love it, name him Nicholas and use Cole instead of Nick as a nickname.
Darcy is going to the girls - no idea why. Perhaps better as a mn? And Jude is rther dated as well as Beatley.
For the rest, I wouldn't use Caleb, Solomon or Christian as fns. Where I live, they cause expectations about religious affiliations that I don't meet.
I really like Angus, George (a bit too royal, though!) and Rufus, and also Gregor rather than Gregory. Oliver is lovely but Ollie isn't, so another good mn choice. Cormac and Ewan are very Celtic so I'd avoid them, but they're good names.
