Edward, Marcus or Gabriel?

We are struggling with a boys name shortlist. Brother for Fraser. Husband has rejected nearly everything I've suggested. My current favourite is Edward but I wonder if it's a bit boring. James is the likely middle name and we have a three syllable Mc surname.

I would welcome thoughts and suggestions? Thank you.

Thank you all. I may have left it a bit late for four boys!

Edward. Not keen on the other two. There seem to be lots of baby Teddys or Teds around at the moment. Ed is a cool nn though

I like Edward.

Gabriel is lovely, and has a good nickname of 'Gabe'. It's classic plus slightly unusual, and I would choose this.

Marcus is absolutely fine, but somehow I always get the mental image from this name of someone quite military who is not in touch with their emotions. I do appreciate this is probably just me though!

Nothing wrong with Edward at all, quite nice in fact, but a bit over-popular over recent years, if that doesn't bother you then obviously it's fine.
