Help[Opinions] Samuel, Henry & William
We are working on a boy name if our 3rd one turns out to be a boy. We have Samuel Gordon (Gordon is a family name) and Henry Oliver. We were thinking William if baby 3 is a boy. I KNOW it is popular, but where I'm from trendy made up sounding names are mostly what people use, you don't hear the classics too much, so I'm not at all concerned about there being 5 William's in his classroom. Anyway, I'm going to homeschool, so I know there won't be, HA. Anyway, what do you think? I was thinking William Frank (Frank for my brother that passed away), but my niece is pregnant too and due a few months after me and she is thinking of using my brother's whole name for her baby. She'll find out the gender of her baby in July and I'm due in Sept, so I can have a back up name just in case. I was thinking William George (George is dh's grandpa and he's been after me to use it since our first son was born). Also I kind of like David. So we have
William Frank
William George
David Frank
David George

Eek. Frank isn't a favorite, or George. Both seem to be such old man names, regardless of Prince George. Not sure what anyone else has written, but how about
William Francis
Or perhaps a g name as a nod to grandpa George. Like
David Gray
Grayson Francis
David Gideon
Gregory David
Gregory Francis
? Just some different thoughts.
I do think you need somewhat of an older or classic name for Samuel and Henry.
So I'm not leaning towards random names like Kade or Gage even though I like them:)

To be honest, I like William David the best, but that would negate your honoring style.
So, I would go with William George. The sounds is sweet and it honors. Plus, it's likely that your brother will be honored by your niece. So, I think this is a great back-up if you don't get to use Frank. Frank being the obvious top choice because it is a wonderful way to remember your brother.
By the way, Samuel Gordon is a fantastic name. I truly love it. henry Oliver matches quite well, and William will fit right in.
Curious on your nickname choice... if you will have one?

Sorry for your brother.
I like William, David too. I think you should definitely go for William Frank if your niece's baby is a girl, however, if it's a boy and she uses his name, I'd go William George. David is nice, and I really like William David, however I think it's only fair to use George for your husband's sake!
