Formal Boys' Names

The term "formal" brings to mind many things. Mansions, banquets, bachelorette parties, suits, ties, et cetera. Formal names have similar qualities.

A few weeks ago, I discussed formal girls' names. Today I make a list of heavy old-fashioned boys' names with nickname options. These are the names that some might think are too grand for young children to wear, but appeal nonetheless.
