Naming a brother- help!

Boy Names
1

I am 20w pg with a boy.
I have two girls, [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]@n [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and my 2012 addition [name_f]Ros[/name_f]@lind [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (@=a), as well as a deceased male twin of [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]@n’s- E11iot Downing (died early on of SIDS).

The boy names were especially difficult with my deceased son and we ultimately decided on his name about a week before the twins were born. It was literally the only name we could agree on.

Now we’re back at square one with boy names. Our last name is English/Scottish and sounds like “Arr-when” so any names that end with R are out ([name_m]Oliver[/name_m], etc).

DH is picky and likes more unusual names like [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] (which I am trying to like, but it’s NMS at the moment). He also doesn’t like names that sound like last names.
I like more traditional names like [name_m]William[/name_m] (which he dislikes because of negative nickname issues). I’m not a fan of unisex names.

My tentative list is
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Bayard[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]/ possible nn “[name_m]Ned[/name_m]”
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m] (DH doesn’t really like this one)
[name_m]Clayton[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] (DH does not like this one)
[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]/ nn “[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]” (love the nickname, can’t tell if it’s too Italian for our last name though)
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] (can’t decide if it sounds too girly or not)
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]

I’m so sorry about the loss of your son, but am so happy to hear you are expecting again! With your children’s names, I really like [name_m]Charles[/name_m], and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] (love [name_m]Ned[/name_m]!), [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. Have you thought of:

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]

Other names on our list:
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Kellen[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]

Our list is getting bigger, not smaller! I don’t really think [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] work with our last name sounds though…

Any other ideas?

Of your list I like -

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m]

I think all of the names on your list work well with your daughters names. Good luck making a decision!
