What names with these siblings?

I'm not pregnant! Just curious. :) And I want one more at some point

DS1 is Samuel Robert (Sam)
DD is Margaret Rose (Maggie)
DS2 is William Oliver (Will)

What "goes"? I know siblings don't have to match, but I would think it'd be strange to have another and name it Rayleigh or Haddix or something. (Which are kids I know. Damn Americans Wink )

Bonus points for names with A and M. Blush They're DH and my initials and we accidentally called our first 2 names containing those letters. We kept it going for #3. It's not vital but I don't know if another would feel left out without it.

I love Maud! I don't know if I want to repeat initials but it would be a nice middle.

Alexander has always been on DH's list. I actually really like it but it's SO popular here. Although most of the ones I know are at least 8 so maybe it's dying down a little. Especially give the fact that I don't even want to try to have a baby for two or three years! :o

Rosalind is so pretty! Anna and Joseph are out due to family members with those names.

Those are good ones! :) Thomas is really nice. So is James. It's my theoretical go to for the next baby (along with possibly Emma for a girl) but it is also FIL and BIL's name.

I do love Matilda (and Max for a boy) but those both seem too "something" with Maggie.

I would also be open to putting a name with A or M in the middle if there were a first name I really liked that didn't have either. I love Elizabeth and Phoebe and they don't have them. Would Elizabeth make me look a bit obsessed with the royals, though? :)
