We named our first son Anders. It's an older version of 'Andrew'. We love it. Fits your preference of older names and it's not an overused one.

More seriously, go with a standard first name that has been common for centuries. William, Steven, John, etc. No nicknames or suffix thing like Jr or Trey. Every first day of class will be confusing. And no your name the VIth. You are not a pope or king.

Just don't name him one of the shitty new age boy's names and you are golden op. I'm partial to Charles/Charlie, but anything in a more traditional style is good. Remember you're naming him for him, not you.

Having a second boy in September. Wife and I are stumped on names. Would love to hear ideas.
Don't likes:. Some of the current -en/an names like Kayden, Aiden, Jayden, braydon, etc.
Likes:. We dig last names as first names. Older names that are more out of style now.

Suggest away. In before Marauder Shields

I hate this trend. All these little Coopers, Jacksons etc running around.

Just name your child with a normal name FFS.
 
Jokes aside, i have one piece of advice. Name your child whatever you want, but make absolute sure that the name is easily pronounced with no room for interpretation.

Dont get cute with the spelling either, spell it exactly the way it sounds.
 
Serious suggestion:
Reagan

1. It's not in style
2. It's a last name as first name
3. It's not a single syllable
4. You seem like you'd have been a Reagan Democrat
5. You specifically said no -an names so I wanted to troll a bit.
All good points. Reagan hits the Aiden Jayden trend I don't much care for, so well trolled. Also, every Reagan I know in my life is a woman. Good logic though. Keep em coming bros

Not Pope? We will agree to disagree on that.

I have a thing for names that have a ton of derivitives, that way if the kid doesn't like it they can go with any number of nicknames and such that fits their personality. That's one of the core things I've always disliked about modern, newagey names. They're so rigid. I mean look at the example given:

Len, Leo, Lon, Lenny, Leon, Le(e), Lonny, Ard, etc

Much more freedom for the kid to give himself some definition via his own name.
