Please help name DS3!

Have name changed because this is obviously very outing!

DSs are called Theodore and Felix.
Please tell me what DS3’s name should be!

We have a very common surname, so nothing too popular (I know Theodore is top 50, but luckily not many around here) This is genuinely an issue - DH and his brother both had boys in their class at school with the exact same first name/last name as them!

Our surname also means that any classic/older name already ‘belongs’ to someone. E.g Thomas X is the plumber, Dave X is the neighbour, John X is at least 4 of DH’s cousins, etc. So we’d love a name that doesn’t already conjure up the image of someone else if possible.

So any ideas?
Thanks

Joel. If you think it's too bland what about Jonah? Good luck with the labour!

Theodore Felix and Elliott.

Joel is a bit odd with your other nsnes i think.

Good luck with the baby!

Classic and known but not overly popular - I'm on a campaign to extol the virtues of Martin on this board. Easy to spell, known by everyone, works really well internationally. Your other children's names are a bit beyond my taste but I think Martin could fit.

I agree Joel is just not as strong as your other two names and doesn’t really match their style. Not keen on Barnaby either. I think Hector would be fantastic. Or failing that Henry or George. Good luck choosing!
