Boring or classic?

We're expecting shortly and have a shortlist for DS, we do have a favourite but I can't think of a middle name for any of them.
Also can we use one of them if it's the name of a close female friend (I think she would be delighted) and a distant family members rabbit

They are:

William
Edward (won't be teddy)
Thomas
Frankie

Franklin is nice, can call him 'Frankie' or 'Frank' for short.

William, Edward and Thomas are all very good names.

Classic names.

Franklin instead of Frankie, with Frankie as nn?

Oh that Frankie song springs to mind here, too.
I hated that song!

Frankie definitely isn’t classic but Frances is although not my taste
William & Edward are lovely
Thomas is ok

Another no for Frankie, did like the song though!
William and Thomas I really like. I do like Edward, but don't like the shortenings, though teddy is my pet hate, so at least it wouldn't be that!

Really don’t like Frankie at all.
William is ok
Thomas is really nice
Love Edward !

Love the first 3, especially William. Not keen on Frankie, it's not classic to me (reminds me of a song so you can guess my age pretty accurately).
