Middle name for a Wilf or Herbert

We are expecting our first baby. We’re all sorted on the girl names and like either Herbert (nn Herbie or Bertie) or Wilf for a boy. We are a bit stuck on a middle name for either.

Some ideas we have had are:
Wilf Rupert
Wilf Hugo
Wilf Louis
Herbert Oliver
Herbert Louis

Would really welcome some ideas/suggestions. Thank you so much x

Wilf feels very incomplete and I think the middle names kind of...accentuate that? Wilfred might be better?

I prefer Herbert to either though, and Herbert Oliver would be my pick of the two you've chosen. I think it flows beautifully.

Wilf Richard
Wilf Robert
Wilf James
Wilf David

I know youre choosing between the two but Herbert is lovely and a lot lot less common than Wilf now. Herb is also a wonderful nickname!

Herbert Samuel
Herbert George
Herbert Finn
Your two suggestions are also really nice .
