Sibling name for William

[Mommypower]

After some advice/thoughts. Really stuck on what to call my second son. My first son is called William and we like traditional style names but it’s surprising how many links the name William has that means we can’t choose certain names (ie: Harry/Henry). We’re thinking of Edward... what do people think??

Oh I came on to say Edward, fantastic classic name!

How funny, my William was originally going to be Edward. I'd think about possible nicknames, eg Eddie, Teddy, Ed and see if you like any of those.
Other classic names are John, James, Oliver, Robert, David, Adam, Benjamin, Daniel, Thomas, Samuel.

Edward is lovely

Peter
Barnaby
Angus
Christopher (Kit)
Matthew
Nathan Nate
Sidney
Laurence nn Laurie

Edward
Alexander
Oliver
Benjamin

Any of the Thomas the tank engine names are a suitable companion to William

Edward is lovely, goes really well

My DD was going to be William if she was a boy, her brother’s name is James

Like Edward a lot.

The Williams I know have brothers called Thomas and Michael.

If you go with Edward you're going to have Bill and Ted.

Edward is a lovely name and goes well with William:

Other possibles:
Alexander
Sebastian
James
Benjamin
Nicholas
Theodore
Joseph
Michael
Nathaniel

@Coldemort oh yeah hadn’t thought of that do you think if we had a “bill & ted” people would think we’re silly or chose badly without thinking or would the boys get laughed at?
