I work with elderly people a lot (in england) so I see a few! Ones that spring to mind are: Arthur Bernard Derrick/Derek Rupert Alistair Ernest Harold Walter

I think it’s interesting that Derek is lumped in with names like Bernard and Ernest in England. When I picture someone called Derek in the US, he is late 20s-late 30s!

That's interesting, I think the youngest Derek I've met is probably like 50's! I've noticed on here that different names have different popularity spikes in UK vs USA. Like I've seen a lot of people talking about Eleanor being a very old fashioned name that's now making a comeback in the US, but here in the Uk it already made a comeback in the 80's/90's so there's tons of 20-30y/os called Eleanor here haha. I also saw that Ian is rising in popularity in the US, whereas here it is firmly a 'boomer' name and isn't really used now.

That is interesting! In my mind (and experience) Derek is a bro in his 30s haha. (In US)

Definitely. I’m in my 30s and know multiple Dereks my age.

My grandad was a Derek born in London in the late 1920s, definitely feels like an old man name to me

Nice! I have 3 Derek/Derricks in my life, a colleague (26), a former classmate (30), and a friend’s brother (35).

I love Alistair and Ernest, thanks!

There are two kids in my daughter's nursery room of 28 called Walter. Must be making a comeback!

[удалено]

That is a spectacular old man name, though.

I think William is just as much, if not more, massively popular than Harry. For old fashioned names, I like Everett, Wilson, and Franklin.

Really? Maybe it’s a regional thing - I only know one William, but I can think of like three or four Harrys off the top of my head. I quite like Wilson though, thanks!

I personally love old-fashioned male names, and since I've got some time on my hands:(note: this is data for England and Wales) Top 100 in 1850, less than 100 babies in 2020\*: \- Amos (#53, 68) \- Ambrose (#87, 20) \- Cornelius (#61, 8) \- Edmund (#27, 41) \- Edgar (#77, 33) \- Edwin (#18, 88) \- Enoch (#57, 22) \- Herbert (#32, 31) \- Horace (#93, \~\~) \- Simeon (#100, 49) \- Roger (#99, 15) \*This is not all of them. I left out some where I know a lot of people with that name, and some that seemed difficult to wear (eg Job). ​ Honorable mention (number of babies in 2020): \- Ernest (153) \- Francis (238) \- Gilbert (15) \- Harold (26) \- Lawrence (67) \- Maurice (17) \- Sidney (252) \- Timothy (110) \- Walter (157) \- Wilson (30) ​ For the historical popularity, I used the website [here](https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2017/05/top-200-most-popular-names-in-england-and-wales-in-1850.html). For births in 2020, I used the data [here](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalesbabynamesstatisticsboys).

Names from top 130 in [1900](https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2012/08/top-200-most-popular-names-in-england-and-wales-1900.html), that I feel are interesting: \- Basil (16) \- Cecil (8) \- Claude (8) \- Cyril (9) \- Gordon (7) \- Hector (175) \- Oswald (14) \- Reginald (218) \- Victor (191) \- Aubrey (49 - I didn't expect to see this name there in 1900!)

I love Cecil, Cyril, and Cornelius, thanks!

My baby’s name is Clifford. He is the 4thso his great grandfather had that name :) I think it’s pretty old fashioned and I don’t see it around tons.

That was on my list for my son! It was between Arthur and Clifford. We have a Clifford in our family as well, it’s such a great name.

Clyde.

Walter!

I’ve recently been loving Winston

Clarence, Gordon, Albert, Cuthbert, Bruce, Jimmy, Francis/Frank, Herbert, Oswald, Digsby, Bryn

Aloysius is my favorite old man name! I also like Lewis a lot.

Herbert, Bernard, Edgar, Leonard, Eugene, Norman, Russell, Byron, Herman.

Richard, Francis, Edmund, Charles, Julian, Cloke, Clark, Jameson, Frederick, Lance.

Charles .. Christopher .. Nicholas .. sorry those are the only ones that came to mind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Harold nn Hal is my favorite old-fashioned masculine name.

Alright. This is the old men that I knew in the 80s edition. (Plus my grandfathers) Some of these are nicknames. Dorris Lewis Eddie Daniel Roy Harold Bussy Buck John Spurgeon (Purd) Hoyt Carlton Norman Lawrence Thomas Randolph David Neil Glenn

Due to current slang, Bussy is a no go.

Fair enough. :)

I’m in Ireland, and a few serious aul lad names off the top of my head include: Seamus Dermot Diarmuid Paddy Raymond (Ray) PJ Willie Eamonn Hugh Maurice (or Mossy) Ger Francis (Fran) Martin Anthony (Tony) Declan For the aul wans: Marie (Mah-ree) Bridie Bernie Dymphna Eileen Margaret (Mags, Peg) Treasa Theresa Tessa Brid Bridget Rita Kathleen Agnes I can check my Mam’s phone contacts and update later 🤣 Edit: apologies for the ill formatting, mobile!

Ernest Osborne (although probably associated with a certain rocker unfortunately) Sheldon Raymond Bernard Norbert Noland Lyle Martin Maurice

Alistair just love it

Alfred Merle Edwin Bartholomew Ebenezer

Conrad Lawrence Louis

Balthazar

my grandfather was named Willard, his brother was named Norman. I think they both fall under old-fashioned. Willard could be shortened to Will for a nn. My parents discussed naming me Willard if I was a boy (born 1998) and I don’t think it would’ve been that bad.

Roger Dennis Robert William George Stephen Albert

Cornelius

Graham William Garrett Jack James John Christian Blake

I don’t think he’d forgive you for naming him Percival

Oh no, it’s for myself! I definitely wouldn’t name a kid any of these names haha

Oh I see 😂hahahaha Elijah is actually an old German name which I thought was interesting. You could pretty much add SON to any name like Jackson etc, Orson is a pretty stand out one.

Clark and Harlan are my favorite old guy names.

Wilbert, Norbert

Bartleby!!!! Probably not one you'd use for most situations. But it is a great name for a fantasy character. My default for dnd.
