A boys name to go with these

Pregnant with dc3, we have had first scan and decided not to find out at the next one what it will be but as have two boys, considering it could be a third boy.
Any suggestions for names to go with William and Samuel please? We like traditional and strong sounding names...

If you want an "E" middle name, I love Emile.

Thank you for the replies. Some great suggestions! I really like Arthur, Joseph, Tom or Henry from the lists. I quite liked Zachary but wasn't sure if that would fit?
Our boys have both got middle names beginning with E's so I was thinking of using an E for a middle name again so they're all the same.
I'm not sure if it is more likely to be a boy (and we've decided not to find out) but just realised that I had a list of girls names but harder to find a third boy's name as I only registered DS2 on the latest date because I struggled to find a second boy name I liked!
The girls names we're looking at are quite different but think they don't need to 'fit in' the same way with the boys... Like Rosina or Adie

William and Samuel were on our list:

The other names on our list were James, Alexander and John.

I actually know three brothers called Samuel, Edward & William! I think Edward fits in nicely.

Alternatives:

Jacob
Joshua
Thomas

I would say Edward, but that's because I have an Edward and a Samuel! I think they go with William. Congratulations!

I know brothers called William and Samuel, their little brother is called James (Jamie).

Peter or Toby would be nice too.

JunebabyT · 03/11/2016 19:02

William and Samuel are currently the top 2 boys names on our list - great names and I think anything classic would go well. Some other ones I like:

Isaac
Adam

Rowan
Matthew
Alexander

James or Jamie, and Oliver, all work well when they are inevitably shortened too. Congrats on the pregnancy btwSmile

groovygreenwichgirl · 03/11/2016 12:27

Thomas would go well. I also think Arthur, James, Joshua, Benjamin, Henry or Edward. All nice, classic and timeless like your first two.

What are you thinking for girls?
