Sorry if this has been done to death but I'm due to give birth to DS2 in 6 weeks and I still haven't fallen in love with a name. DS is Henry so I thought I might find inspiration from this.

Mine are:

John (DS' middle name) and
Arthur (I like this and think it goes but DH isn't keen)

Mum's dad: John
Dad's dad: Jack

DS1 is named Jack, which covered both grandfathers, with Jack being a diminutive of John.
