"antique classic" boy names

seethosestars

I have an extensive list of girl names but find I'm really struggling with boy names.  I tend to like "classics" like William but my mom basically vetoed that by saying randomly she hates that name (ugh!).  Would prefer 2 (or more) syllables as our last name is short, sounds like "shank".

Really appreciate any suggestions!

First, it’s your child, not your moms.  She shouldn’t have a say in what name you give your baby.  She had her chance to name her children, now its yours.  

That being said, I like classic names as well.  I think William is a great name and if you love it, go for it.

Other suggestions:

Henry
Thomas
John
Charles
George
James
Daniel
Andrew
Theodore
Michael
Oscar
Franklin
Walter
Robert
Patrick
Gabriel
Benjamin
Jacob

I can understand not using William if your mom hates it.  If you were already sold on it you should consider still using it but if you are open to other names in that style I’d recommend (with many repeats)

Frederick 
Henry
Edward
Theodore
Oliver
Benjamin
Samuel
Nathaniel
Michael
Matthew
Richard
Alexander
Peter
Thomas
Lawrence
