Oh, good. Maybe this will give me some inspiration for my too-short boys' name list! Unfortunately I've used up several of the names on dogs.

A few names I would add:

Bertram
Bruce
Conrad

I really cannot see Josiah, Jonas, Jeremias, Jeremiah, Jesse, Graham, Fraser, Emmanuel, Casey, Clancy or Dale as manly names
