Middle name for William

I think we've decided on William for our second DS, due next month, but I'm really struggling for a middle name! I'd love Arthur but sadly it would lead to some unfortunate initials. Can anyone suggest some ideas that don't begin with a vowel please?

My Dad was William George so I'm a bit biased.

I think unless you have a name you want to use because you like it or its a family name either dont have a middle name or go for something a bit out there. How about... Horatio Falcon Fox River Scout Hunter Jay Zeke Valentino Byron Lennon Raphael Rio
Thanks for the ideas, that's my thinking too. My son has a very traditional first name and a more unusual second name, so would be nice to follow a similar pattern this time around. I like Hunter from your list Smile
