Boy name to go with Henry & Arthur

We just found out we are having a THIRD boy!! It took us almost 4 weeks to name our second. Our eldest is Henry Thomas and our Second is Arthur Kenneth (nn Archie).

Seeing as it took so long to pick a boy name last time, I thought I'd get a head start on this one 😂 Hopefully 4 months is enough!!

I'd love to hear your traditional name suggestions. Our surname is Brown so we defo can't do James and I can't bring myself to do Charlie Brown (even though hubby says it's fine)! What do you think?

Surely it has to be Edward, you already have a Tudor king and a Tudor prince of wales.

Henry and Arthur somehow give me a New York of the 50s vibe.

I would suggest:
Leonard
Robert
George
Joseph
Theodore
Alan
Jerome
Jonas
Jude

@Dinosaursdontgrowontrees These are the two I keep coming back to. I prefer Edward but hubby...not so much.

I think George is becoming the neutral ground, but it's such a popular name! I kind of prefer traditional, less common names.

@DuchenneParent I love Edward, I'm going to try and work on hubby with it. The issue is the nickname he would want to use is Ted/Teddy and my SIL named her little boy Ted last year. But I'm going to see if I can get him into Ed/Eddy instead.

I think Albert is adorable, but I kind of get hung up on Bertie Brown. Hmm

@Squeakerfoot No, I love William, but William Brown sounds quite plain. That's the problem with Brown, it's not the most exciting last name 😂
