Names to go with Arthur

We have two boys, Henry and Arthur and are having another baby in August. Don't know the sex.

Looking for a name. Had previously thought of Daisy for a girl but now maybe a bit popular. I have no idea for a boy.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Thanks again, loads of ideas here.

Ha, xpost. I do think Stanley is quite an old name for a baby, they always seem to grow into it though.

Both Arthurs I know have a sibling called Stanley. So maybe not that.

Jeremy, Giles, Rupert, Rufus?

Grace is a lovely name and I rarely meet one.

Violet was under consideration for quite a while - maybe needs another look!
Edward (nn Ted) I quite like, but not Eddie ( makes me hear Clarrie) .

Sorry, I am hard to please..

Quite like Stanley, but maybe it would sound like I was taking an old folks home outing? Is that a bad thing?

Thank you!
Boys: William is a possibility ( nn Billy?) , D has said no to George which was high on our list last time but because of prince G he is now no t keen. John and Charles already in close family! Hadn't thought of Frederick though so might try it on DH.

Girls: LOVE Grace, Charlotte and Elizabeth I also love but already family children. Can't use Alice because I always think of that song (Alice, Alice, who the etc....)
Is Grace too popular???

I do like Hugo! DH has vetoed though and I have a nephew with a very similar name.

Keep going though!

Henry and Arthur make me think "historical" and "royal".

William, Charles, Edward, James, John, Frederick, George

Elizabeth, Grace, Jane, Alice, Zara, Victoria, Charlotte

Do you like Hugo? I think it goes well with you other names.
