A brother for Thomas

We’re fond of strong traditional names (Henry, Joseph, James, Theodore etc.) but for various reasons we don’t want the name to begin with H, J or T! All the other names we like seem to be already used by family/friends.
Any ideas?

Evan, Wilfred/Wilf?

I'd avoid James and Henry and anything else with potential tank engine connections!
Anything classic, or even a bit more modern goes with Thomas. I particularly like William and Charlie.

It has helped, thanks everyone!
We’ve added
Isaac,
Charlie,
Benjamin and
Edward to our list!
We love George and Luke but there’s so many names to choose from I don’t think there’s any need to give our son the same name as one of our cousins!

It doesnt matter if friends or family have used the name, really

I does matter, as the whole point of naming someone is to identify them. Having two Toms or Harrys in the same family can get confusing Grin
