Narrowed down name choices for DS3 to William James or William Noah. I know for many people these are all far too popular but we like and actually agree on both options (a bloody miracle) and aren't too worried about popularity.

Which do you prefer? Last name similar to Johnstone.

Any other middle name suggestions welcome but we have considered a LOT of names and at least one of us has ruled out most of them. My favourite was probably Jude but DH was having none of it.

I also have a William Henry. I had this really lovely patient (I'm a nurse) called William Henry when I was pregnant and the name combination just stuck with me.

William James - my DS's middle names are William James, so I am obviously totally unbiased! We went with two middle names as William is my Dad's middle name and my grandfather's forename, and James is DH's middle name and his grandfather's forename.

If your surname begins with J, I would suggest looking for an alternative to James to avoid it being a bit of a mouthful. Our surname begins with W, hence us going with William James, rather than James William.
