First boy names to go with middle names?

I posted an earlier thread about middles names, as we couldn't decide which of our Grandads names to use, we've decided to go for both so either William George or George William, doesn't matter which way round.

We liked Arthur and Edward as fist names but now we think it might sound a bit too much with both the middle names, so does anyone have any suggestions for boys first names that would go with either George William or William George as middle names? Thank you

I think as there's a few syllables together there (and this is excluding the syllables of your surname) then I would go with a 1 syllable first name:

Zack
Jack
Max
Sam
James
Finn
Cole
Luke
Kai
Heath
Drew
Cade
Ben

I think Arthur works well as Arthur William George. I've used the same number of names/ syllables for my DS.

Both Arthur and Edward work well with William George. No need to search for something different if you like these. Then see what he looks like when arrives and choose a name!!

Exactly this. Both are perfect (especially Edward)

I like Edward and Arthur too! How about Chester?

Arthur George William is lovely!

You should stick to the first names that you love because that's the name you say 100 times a day, not the middle names, so don't choose a compromise first name because you think it will fit better. There is nothing terrible happening when you put Arthur or Edward infront of the middle names so don't discount them!

I think both your choices go well with the middles.
You should always choose names you love and I really like middles to honor family 💗

Edward George William works nicely.

Arthur William George sounds lovely and has rhythm too.
