Names for brother George

[ChicNavyPanda]

Currently have a son called George Alexander. Looking for a name for his brother due in March but can’t agree on a name.
I really like Henry, however partners cousin has recently called their child Henry

their middle name will be William.
at the moment the shortlist is:

• Frederick William
• Theodore William
• Oscar William
• Alfie William
• Arthur William
• Archie William
• Henry William
• Patrick William

any new suggestions welcome

I like all those with the exception of Patrick. Edward? Richard? Going with the King theme.

I was going to suggest Henry!
Frederick is my favourite.
Patrick is lovely, and now quite unusual.
How about:
Edward
Anthony
Laurence
David
I like your list apart from Alfie and Archie. They're both very common, and will probably date, if that matters to you.

I like your suggestions of Henry and Arthur. I’m not keen on Alfie.

Or how about

Christopher William
Quentin William
Alexander William

I like pps suggestions for Richard and Christopher, they're lovely names and haven't been used much of late.

I like all apart from Alfie (although Alfred is fine). I’m less keen on Patrick than the others. Favourites are Frederick and Arthur.

I’m not keen on Alfie but love the rest.
we have a Patrick and a Theodore. Just be aware Patrick is often shortened to Paddy. Which is better than Pat (imo). Some people get funny about “Paddy”. I certainly had remarks from a snooty grandparent about “dirty ole Irish man”. Yes really. 🤔

also Theodore - do you want a Theo or a Teddy. Decide quickly and let people know.
otherwise they choose the other version and it takes years to deprogramme (yes. We have experience with this one!)

have you thought about
Charles/Charlie?
Peregrine/Perry?
Rupert/Roo?
Ralph?
Albert/Albie/Bertie?
Phinnaeus / Finn?
Austin?
Rollo?
Cosmo?

Like:
Patrick (will DS3 and DS4 be David and Andrew?)
Henry (wouldn't worry about the cousin)
Arthur - but very popular
Frederick - not sure. Freddie's ok
Oscar - not sure

Suggest:
Thomas
David
Michael
Peter
James
Louis
Charlie
Harry
Toby
Sam

Bin:
Alfie
Archie
Theodore.

Love Henry but if not right love Arthur and Frederick with George. Other suggestions- George and….

James William
Edward William
Joseph William
Charles William
Vincent William
Rowan William
Leonard William
Ernest William
Christopher William
Harry William
Max William
Thomas William

Jasper.
Casper.

I love Arthur with George! Oscar and Henry are my other favourites.

Toby
Zachary
Max
Edward / Ted
Harry
Leo
Rory
Sebastian

Same. Only I'd cross off Oscar as well as Archie and Alfie.

Don't think they are quite of the same ilk as the others.

I'd probably go for Frederick.

I think George and Louis is a bit cringe - kind of like the William and Harry combo in my day.

Loving all the David love here- it’s my George’s middle name and we briefly considered it for his first name. Very underused imho.

In the same vein, might I suggest John?

I like Theodore but Theo. I don’t think popularity matters as George is already hugely popular. There are 6 in my DC’s year at school, along with Oscar (which I don’t like).

It was a joke suggestion.

I'm not keen on Oscar either. George and Henry are good solid classic names but Oscar makes me think of a pet's name.

@TheCraicDealer , I like John and David too.

Richard William would be Dick Willy. Id probably avoid that Lol

Fair.

David and John both elegant classics and very underused.
OP I have an aversion to nicknames used as given names and dislike Alfie anyway, unless for a pet. Don’t like Archie for the same reasons.
I probably like Patrick best from your list.

Or Oscar the Grouch.

Though he is cute.

Oliver

Arthur is my favourite by a country mile.

Came to suggest Alexander, but can see that’s not on the cards!

I like Henry and Patrick best from your list. I don’t think it matters at all that your partner’s cousin has a Henry. Frederick is nice but I feel like Freddie is ubiquitous. I also think John or James would be lovely.

how about Che like the rapper he makes fantastic music

George Alexander and..

Timothy William -Tim
Arthur William
Lloyd William
Henry William
Patrick William
Charles William
Christopher William
