A boy's name for a (possible) DS3!

Probably jumping the gun as I only got a BFP yesterday, but I already have two DSes and DH and I haven't managed to think of anything we both like in the 3 years since DS2 was born.

DS1 is Edward (but everyone calls him Ted) and DS2 is Patrick. Some things we haven't crossed off our list so far:

Leonard
Jesse
Herb

Any other suggestions along those lines would be great!

Leonard goes really well with your other two. Herb is... ummm, different

I would say the following are similar to Edward and Patrick:
William / Wilfred / Wilbur
Archie / Alfie / Albert
Freddie
Quentin
Rory
Lionel
Victor
Barney / Barnaby
Diggory
Kenneth
Maurice
George
Moses

Of those you've listed I'd say Leonard goes best.

Leonard is my personal favourite as it's a family name too. DH isn't so keen but hasn't ruled it out yet.

Herb was his idea, and I think it's kind of quirky and definitely unusual!

Leonard and Quentin are lovely and go well with your boys' names.

Jesse is my favourite boys name ever
My dd2 is 9 months old, is she were a boy she would have been Jesse.
I also like Jude.

I'm pregnant with ds2, who is a Jesse. So I'd pick that one!

Herb is fantastic.
