Old Fashioned British Boy Names

[JenniferEl]

Hi all!

We have a 2 and a half year old named Russell James, (first and middle name)..

We are expecting another boy next month and haven't a clue what to name him.

We don't want anything common for a first name but a common middle name is fine.

SUGGESTIONS PLEASSEE !!

Edward
Laurence
Nathaniel

I love Peter, it's my brother's name so it's out for us but it's English and traditional yet not at all common at the moment. I like the Peter Pan connotations!
