traditional boys names

echildre

DH & I have no problem picking out girls names. We have a list of around 10. However, boys names are really hard for us. We like very traditional boys names & yes I've looked through books/websites. Our main problem is our families are heavily male. So many names are already used often. DH's brother's are patrick, timothy, colin. Which are all names we like, but we don't want to use a close family name. Any ideas of traditional boys names. I like Benjamin & Andrew, but DH isn't sold. Just thought if anyone's bored on this rainy (midwest) morning!

Thanks ladies. I hadn't thought of Alexander & I like William (Will). I love Christopher, but it's DH's brother's name who passed away as a baby. Now under other circumstances, we'd name a baby after him anyway, but he was a twin & DH is not the living twin. But Christopher is DH's mn. It's all kinda complicated. The brother who is the twin is not married & probably won't be for many years if ever. However, it gets sticky about using the name Christopher. We'll see...

In addition to those already posted, I also like Edward, George and Jacob.

Our son's name will be Samuel.  It's a very strong, traditional name.

Use Andrew!  I LOVE that name!  We can't use it b/c of Andrews on both sides of the family.  I'd have to say it's my favorite boy's name.
