Grandpa Names

Old-stock boy names with quiet authority

The Henrys, Walters, Arthurs, and Edwards that anchored mid-century cohorts and are now climbing back. Grandpa names project competence without trying — they look good on a business card at 50 and a kindergarten cubby at 5. Often surname-style, often two syllables, often Germanic or English in root. Strong picks for parents wanting names that won't date.
