Middle name for Charlie

A few weeks off having our 3rd boy and we've finally decided on the first name of Charlie (which was a task in itself). We're incredibly stuck with a middle name so any suggestions would be appreciated. We've already used George and Arthur on our other two boys and James and Oliver are out as well. Tia.

Congrats on your imminent new addition!

Charlie lends itself to lots of euphonious combinations. A longer middle name would suit the rhythm. How about:

Charlie Alexander
Charlie Nicholas
Charlie Montgomery
Charlie Nathaniel
Charlie Oberon
Charlie Zachary
Charlie Cornelius

Do you like any of your ancestral surnames? They might go well with Charlie.

Philip, because the names you have already chosen remind me of King Charles, whose names are Charles Philip Arthur George!

Charlie Matthew
Charlie Jacob
Charlie Jonathan
Charlie Fredric/Charlie Frederick
Charlie Anthony
Charlie Gerald
Charlie Timothy

But I agree with the previous poster, also look for names and/or inspiration amongst your ancestors' names.

My youngest is Charlie Joe and people often comment on how well it flows.

Are you making the name on the birth certificate Charlie or Charles out of interest?

The Charlie I know is Charlie William.
I would go for Charlie James or Charlie Alexander, personally

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. They were a big help. After another few days of debate we've decided on naming him Charlie William 😊
