Opinions on boys names

Our new baby is due in July and we do not know the sex. If the baby is a girl we are calling her Martha Rose.
However we are really struggling for a boys name. our current shortlist is Jonah, Noah and Joel. Has anybody any other ideas? or opinions on those names?
We don't want a name that is too popular. The baby has two brothers called Patrick and William.
This is becoming a real headache.

Love Martha. Like Noah. Hate Jonah.

I am sure you have considered these but anyway:
Jacob
Gabriel
Benedict
Matthew
Edward
Luke
Mark

I'm not sure that any of your 3 boys' names go with your existing two - that may or may not matter to you. Of the three, I prefer Joel, although think it has a touch of the 'naughty boy name' about it. I still like it, though.

Agree with janeite about Edward - that would go nicely with the others and, although there are always Edwards about, it never seems to become so popular that there would be 3 in a class (certainly not round these parts). Alternatively, how about:

Magnus (or Marcus)
Angus
George
Hector (I know, but I really love it and it kind of goes!)

Love Martha Rose, btw.

Martha, Patrick and William are great.

Sorry not keen on Jonah, Noah and Joel. Also they don't fit so well with the names you've already chosen.

How about..

Bede
Dominic
Thomas
Henry
Joseph

Of the other suggestions I like..

Gabriel
Benedict
Matthew
Edward
Angus
Magnus

Thanks for the feedback. I think your reply's are right those names don't go with the ones we already have. Now looking at Goerge Henry as a probable name. Wasn't sure about using George at first because it is so popular but both me and hubby really like it so perhaphs that's the one.

I love Jonah. Know too many Noahs and dislike Joel.

Noah is very popular at the moment.Only Jonah I have ever known would have been 100 if he was still alive.
