Best brother name for William ??

[Mommy0boys2]

Hi. Just wanted peoples opinions on which name goes best.... my first son is called William ...... second son: should be Thomas, Edward, Oliver ??? Really stuck and can’t decide !?!?! Thanks x

Edward

Some other suggestions based on the Williams that I know:
Matthew
Joseph
Theo
Elliot

James goes well with William. I do know a greyson and William brothers though

Thomas.

Before I opened the thread, I thought Thomas .

Thomas

Love Thomas - we have Edward and Alexander with our William.

Thomas

But love all your choices

Don't chose a name based on your first boys name. Just chose the name you like the most. It doesn't matter if the two names go together or not.

I like all the names you are thinking if although Oliver seems too popular

My best friend has a William and also a Henry, George & Oliver.

I came on to say Thomas! :D lovely name.

George

TBH she also had a Thomas but he passed away at birth.

Thomas, James, Alexander, Edward.

Benjamin
Oscar
Frederick
Milo
Miles
Maximilian
Harry/ Henry

George x

Thomas would go well with William.

Thomas and...

Edwin
Miles
Andrew
Richard
Alexander
David
Isaac

Sorry, William and....!

I do think it's a good idea to have names that are of a similar type. If I had one child called William and another called Apollo or Ziggy or Kayleb, I'd expect to be fielding tiresome questions, not least from the boys, for the rest of my life.

I like Oliver but it's so popular now I'd avoid it unless you absolutely love it. Thomas and Edward are good names. I have a marginal preference for Edward.

Others you could consider: James, David, Jonathan, John, Michael, George.

Not Liam.

I forgot Robert. I like Richard but not sure I'd saddle a child with a name that many will turn into Dick.

Frederick
Matthew
Robert
Laurence
Oliver
James

Your ideas are all good. I suppose I feel I know a lot of Thomases (age 3-9) and know of a lot of Edwards.

Henry
Edward
Edwin
James

Thomas
Edward
Matthew
Edmund

I also like

George
Henry
Andrew

But you have to have a good think about whether or not you want people to think you’ve named your kids after the royal family!

Edward is lovely

I also think Arthur would work well with William as does, Henry, James,
