Boy name to go with Henry & Arthur

We just found out we are having a THIRD boy!! It took us almost 4 weeks to name our second. Our eldest is Henry Thomas and our Second is Arthur Kenneth (nn Archie).

Seeing as it took so long to pick a boy name last time, I thought I'd get a head start on this one 😂 Hopefully 4 months is enough!!

I'd love to hear your traditional name suggestions. Our surname is Brown so we defo can't do James and I can't bring myself to do Charlie Brown (even though hubby says it's fine)! What do you think?

@Arrowheart @blondie87 I really love Edward! Hubby isn't as keen but when I suggested it again last night he said "I don't even know why I'm contesting it, we both know you're going to do what you want anyway" 😆 Kinda made me feel bad...but I do get the name I want?! Lol He wants Rupert, which is a fine name, I just don't like it for my boy.

He couldn't be Ted/Teddy as that is what my SIL named her little boy.

@Cowbells I'm voting for Edward too! My eldest's middle name is Thomas and my Bro in law is already a Sam Brown.

My father in law is eldest of 8 kids, 6 of which are boys. So a lot of names used already!!

If we did Edward we couldn't use Ted/Teddy as my sis in law named her little boy Ted last year.

We have the same baby names! Henry, Arthur & Margot Smile

First though was William, I think "Billy Brown"'is pretty cute and William Robert Brown flows really nicely.
Seems like we have similar taste in names, i also think Jude, Jack and Rory go - and Robert as a middle name would work with any of them! X

@brads88 Margot is my girl name, has been with all three pregnancies!! So crazy!

My husband really likes Jack, but my parents got a dog back in November and named him Jack, I'm concerned it's a little close to home? Also my husband is Jacob/Jack and I'm pretty sure I'll end up swapping their names 😆 "Jake, Jack...what's your name?!"

I just find boy names so difficult!

I meant to add the other day - I also love the name Quinn, and I think it works for both boys & girls!
