Brother for Helen?

[brotherforHelen]

Due in April, so some way off, but starting to consider names, as we found it quite hard last time!

Obviously as we picked Helen we are quite classic in our taste - would prefer something not too popular, similar in feel.

I've never met a child called Helen ever!
Obviously the adult Helen's I know were children but I either didn't know at the time or it was before my time!

My immediate thought was James.

Also:

Paul

I was at school with a lot of Helens, so on that basis
Stephen

Neil
Martin
Mark
Alan
Christopher
Stewart

My immediate thought was also James!

Philip. Another Greek name.

Thank you very much!

We can't use James, but other some great suggestions here.

The only little Helen I’ve ever met has a brother called Murray. Possibly not classic enough but thought I’d mention it just in case!
