Henry, Edward or Alexander.

For girls I think it really doesn't matter although i wouldn't suddenly change feel for something like Madison.

Henry or Harry for a boy
Isabel it charlotte for a girl

If you want to stick with two syllables and the same sort of traditional names, then for a boy, Edward or Henry or Matthew, and for a girl, Lucy or Sophie or Mary or Alice.

My friend has 3 boys with the same names and her 3rd is George.

Joseph or Beautrice

interesting as my ds is Thomas and his cousins and uncles names are listed a lot here. Obviously a lot of these names are related in some way to a group of “type” iyswim?

I know this will sound snarky and it is not intended that way. Have a look at the characters in Thomas the tank engine. They are mostly in your style (traditional names barring Cranky and Dart)

Personally I thought Edward then you have Tom Bill and Eddie
