getting desperate...name my boy!

okay - DS1 is Henry 

can't use Sam, Ben, Joe, Thomas, Jack, Jacob - Long form or short due to family conflicts...although these are the track we're heading down.

i like - William (is it too royal with Henry?), Fred, George might be a bit much (too old sounding??)

we're running out of ideas!  

TIA!

Steven, Daniel, Patrick, Arthur, Robert, Andrew, Matthew....

William and Henry are too royal for me.  Fred and George are ok with Henry but I think you could do better.

I think you have a good list with William, Alfred/Frederick and George. Excellent choices!

I actually don't mind Henry and William together.  They are both really strong masculine names.  I also like George and IMO, Georgie is an adorable nn for a baby or toddler.

Sounds like you are looking for a classic boys name?

What about

Vincent

Walter

Peter

Patrick

Martin

Charles

Edward (Edwin)

Stephen

Nathan

Robert

Gregory

Matthew

Christopher

 

Good luck!

The first names that came to mind were Andrew and Daniel to go with Henry, which others suggested to.  

Of your names, I like Fred or William, but I am not a fan of George.  

Other ideas: Peter, Phillip, Mark/Marcus, Aaron, Brian, Eli, Jason

I think William and Henry are too royal because William's brother Harry's real name is Henry.  But you know what?  Not many people realize that and it probably wouldn't be a big deal.

I love William.  And Henry.  And pretty much any royal name.  Edward, Edmund, Charles, Louis?

I love the name Liam. If you called him William you could always use that as a nickname so it doesn't sound so Royal.

I would love Grant or Dean with Henry.  They are less common and less royal than your other choices, but still classic and recognizable.

I like William a lot!  Our choice if this is a boy.  I think it's fine with Henry.  BTW, royals have also been named George and Frederick.  I don't like Fred as a stand alone but I do like Frederick and would vote for that because it's so refreshing to hear.

This is the inner Harry Potter fanatic in me speaking, but is is just me or does anyone else see that whenever there's a George on the list, Fred is there too?

I do think Henry/William and Henry/George are too royal sounding.  Not a fan of Fred.

I think Andrew, Daniel or Phillip are solid classic names that sound good with Henry.

Charles was the first thing that came to my mind... Henry and Charlie sounds good together, IMO.

I can also see:  Luke, John, Wiliam, George, Wesley...

Miles, Max, Spencer.

William & Henry aren't too royal for me, though.
