Names for twins - youngest of seven!!

We are soon to welcome our twins - identical boys who will join the 5 children we already have. The older 5 were all born within 8 years, but the youngest is now 8 so these two are quite separate from their older siblings.
Older children all have short-ish names which can be shortened but we don't. All children have virtues for middle names (Courage, Obey, Faith, Joy and Justice) and we are currently planning on Honour and Peace for these two.
No names beginning with Jo sound please - we already have two!!

What names do you like? How about

Thomas and Quentin
Nathan and Marcus
William and Fergus

The older children all have kind of old-fashioned, mildly Biblical names. We have 3 boys and 2 girls at the moment.

Thank you for your suggestions - I love Thomas, Fergus and Marcus, but DH doesn't like names ending with S because our surname does as well - he thinks it sounds like a snake in the middle of the name.
(I've already made the point about Peace having an S sound - don't go there Grin)

The older children are Jonah, Gideon, Josie, Lola and Micah btw.
I love Isaac and Adam, but the kids already have cousins with those names. (One of the joys of having such a large extended family - so many people with so many names!!!)

Take your pick from the apostles. Peter and Paul, Simon and John, Bart, Andrew or Jude.

What about Valor instead of Peace? Honor and Valor.

And maybe names that would go like Arthur, Lance, Tristain, Samson ect... brave, chivalrous character names.
