What Are Some Old Boy Names?

Old-fashioned names mean different things to different people. Some consider it old-fashioned at least a century earlier, such as Cecil or Sherman. Others may consider old names that were popular 50 years ago, such as Russell or Elvis. Others may consider old-fashioned names in the Bible, such as John or Mark.
Older names have been in fashion for boys for so long that many of them have become popular first names: Henry and Samuel are among the biggest names in the US, while in the UK Harry, Leo and Oscar are all among their most popular baby names.

But don’t worry, there are plenty of other alumni names out there where they came from! To qualify as a cool old man’s name, a name has to have a classic twist and a little bit moth-eaten, like a perfect vintage cardigan.

Along with Henry and Samuel, other senior names in the American Top 500 include Arthur, Cyrus, Theodore, Otto, Silas, Harvey, Victor and Frederick. Seniors’ names more common in the UK than in the US include Albert, Ralph, Stanley, and Wilfred.

Like Biblical boy names, old names for old people are constantly revived by parents. Today’s more old-fashioned boy names include relics like Herbert, Harold, and Clyde.
