Traditional boys names

[NewJobNewLife]

I have quite a conservative taste in names, and am really struggling to name DS2, expected in a few months.

For various reasons, all the boys names I love would cause a problem. If I list the ones I can't use, could you suggest other names I might like?

I love but can't use:

Peter
James
David
Alexander
William
Stephen
Robert
Daniel
Alistair


Any ideas?

There are some great ideas here, thank you :)

I think Owen, Andrew and Matthew are forerunners so far, though Edmund and Benedict might also grow on me.

I found it really hard to think of names other than the ones I love but can't really use, so your lists have been great :)

Glad you like Edmund! There is also Edwin and Edgar, of course. And what about Roland - great chivalric history!
