Names to match George and Harry

Expecting #3, don't know the gender yet but starting to throw names around. Girls names aren't an issue, but we're really struggling with boys names!

My first two are George and Harry, we'd like something that works with them.

Oh's vetoing everything I like, and doesn't have any ideas of his own Hmm

The only maybes he's given so far are:
Albie
Dominic
Richard

And he isn't keen on any of them.

The list of "no" is too long to write (I can't remember them all), but includes:
Charlie
Freddie
Robert
Elliot
Ellis
Arthur
Isaac
William
Theodore
Sebastian
Edward
Edmund
Louis/Louie
Jude

Has anyone got any suggestions I could throw at him please? It wasn't as hard to name the other two, but I like to have a vague idea fairly early on as it helps me bond (we don't really give bump a nickname so it's just "it" until birth otherwise). We like traditional names, so nothing too "out there". But otherwise we've not worked out any hard and fast rules.

Well your first two children have the same names as Gary Linekar's first two children so you could go for one of his other son's names of Angus or Tobias.
I'm not sure how proud I am of knowing that information.

Well, I thought of William and Louis at first 😬

Seriously though, John or Anthony. Maybe Toby.

Err "Heathis anOld Englishmalegiven name, andsurname, meaning "someone who lived at, on, or by, amoororheath"

It was already given in the 18th century so yeah it's traditional

Heath is not a traditional first name - that’s like saying Walker (or any other surname) is a traditional first name just because it’s been occasionally used as a first name through the centuries. Wiki talks a load of shite FYI.
