Brother for Russell?

So, I'm still early in my pregnancy so I don't know if I'm having a boy or girl, but my DS's name is Russell and we just love it.  I like it because it's traditional.  Everyone knows it's name but it's not common.  I also like that it has a short name option.  I feel like there are no other boys names that I like this much that fit the same criteria.

Any suggestions?

I'm biased, but what about Henry? NN Hank is always an option.

Also:

Joshua, nn Josh
James, nn Jim
Phillip, nn Phil
Michael, nn Mike
Robert, nn Bob or Rob

ETA: These are traditional but also fairly common. Forgot that criterion...

ETA2: Timothy, nn Tim; Thomas, nn Tom; Andrew, nn Drew

I feel the same way. Russell is our DS's name and we picked it because it was not popular but common. 

A name that I really like that is common but not popular for a boy is Stuart or Stewart. I don't know if this is your style but I thought that I would suggest it.

Good luck!

The only Russell I know has a brother Jacob and a brother Daniel.

Dad calls them by their full names, but everyone else calls them Russ, Jake and Danny.

My cousins name is Russell. He has six brothers. They are Rory, Ross, Riley, Royce, Rhett, and Robbie. 

Options.  

ETA: Yes my aunt Ralynn and uncle Ronald did that to their seven boys. They are a family of nine R's.

Haha. I have an Aunt and Uncle like that too. They went with K's. K.aleb, Kyle, K.assie, K.ody, Kellen, and K.arson. Now the oldest of their boys has 3 kids if his own and is carrying on the tradition with Kylie, K.ashton and K.ristian. If you ask me the are a little Krazy. ;
