Brother for Percy

Wondering what names would go well with Percy, for a boy. I don't like names that are common and I don't like way out there names. I'm more a old man kind of baby namer... Thanks in advance for suggestions Wink

Why not look up when Percy was at its peak of popularity (there is a site where you can do this, can't remember what it is though) and see what else was popular at the time?

Of what's been mentioned I like Victor and Arthur.

I'm not a fan of old-man names personally, but I do really like Percy.

My contributions: Monty/ Montgomery, Edmund, Abraham, Basil, Victor.

My great grandfather was Percy and his brother was Reginald.

I had three great uncles - Percy, Stanley and Reggie.
