Brother for James

[olivehater]

Was originally thinking it should be another classic name but all the ones I like are off limits for various reasons (close friends children close in age, doesn't work with surname etc) and the ones left I don't particularly like.
I like Thomas, Edward, Alexander, Finlay, Matthew, Benjamin, Johnathon - but can't have them.
Don't particularly like William, Anthony, Joseph, and well most other boys names I can come up with at the mo.

Not hitting on anything I love. Starting to think I should go a bit more unusual. Would that be odd when my first born is a James? Any suggestions welcome.....

Should add I can't have anything that ends in an N

Bertie's fab. Oliver? Percy? (I love Percy).

Isaac?

Graham Grant Craig Fraser Cameron Calum Stuart Gregg Iain Jack Mark

I have a James and an Oscar.

DC3 due 3 days ago (grrrr) and if it turns out to be a boy it will probably be a Benjamin, a Henry or a Jack.

Sebastian
Guy
Simon
Laurence

I have a James and his sister would have been David if she has been a boy.

Also on our list were Robert, Daniel and Nathaniel

I have a Henry with my James, we also liked Adam, Oscar and zachary
I really wanted Otis but it just didn't 'go'

Jonah
Elias

Henry and Sebastion and daniel off limits
.
I like Adam but DH doesn't and Elliott but DH refuses as his mate not even in area has a son with that name! Aargh this is the problem with being one of the last in your circle to have children.

we have a thomas and a william with our james.

Other short list names have been Frederick, Felix, Lucas, Lewis, and Wilfred. Frederick has been the recent fave with a view to calling him Freddy. We settle on them for a while the go off them.
Just seen on anther thread the suggestion of Ellis. I quite like. Do you think works with James?

Ellis is fine with James, although personally I don't like it very much. I like the rest of your shortlist though, especially Lewis

Joseph, Sam or charlie?

James's I know have brothers Oliver, Callum, Christopher.

I straight away thought of Matthew. Oliver would be nice too

Ruben, Joshua, George, Silas, Amos, Samuel, Charlie, Luca..?
