Which name do you prefer for DS#3? Opinions please!

DS1 is Henry and DS2 is Samuel.  We have it narrowed down to William and George.  

I like both names equally.  DH favors William but still likes the name George (also a family name on DH's side).  William is definitely higher on the popularity charts but that does not matter to us. I like that William has 2 syllables but like George in that you do not hear it as much.

What do you think?

I prefer William for two reasons.

#1 - I just like it better than George.

#2 - I like that it has more than one syllable. It goes well with Henry and Samuel.

I personally prefer William.  Although I like George too.  But I like names with a lot of NN options so William wins for me.

William flows better with other son's FN.  Henry, Samuel, and William.  Awesome sib set!  Yes Yes

To my ear, Henry, Samuel, and George doesn't sound right.. George is a "clunker" at the end of the string of names.. don't know if that makes any sense.

and I love the name William George  - perfect FN / MN combo.  I would 100000% use it.

Will you use a nickname?  I really like Will.  

My vote is William although both are great strong names.

I like the nn options that William offers. Not sure if that's something you want though. It is more common right now than George.

Both are nice names. My personal preference goes to William. I like that it has a nickname, and also fits in a little better with other two DS names.

I think William George sounds great!

I like both too. I'm going to vote George, because I think it's a great name, that you don't hear often.

I like them both.

I'd pick which ever sound better with the LN.

Having more NN options is not a positive IMHO.

Both are fine, but I agree that William's rhythm matches your other sons better, and I like all the nicknaming options.

Although I like both, I give the edge to William. I think it flows a little better with your other LO's names, but it will depend on how it sounds with your last name. I like the suggestion of William George.

Love both! I have a slight preference towards George. I love hearing it. You can't go wrong either way.

I think they both fit nicely with your sibset.

I'd give the edge to William because I love nns.

I like William - it goes better with the other two, has great nn options, and I just plain like it better than George. The only downside would be the popularity compared to George.

This is tough. Both are great, classic boy names. I would go with William, it just goes a tiny bit better with your sibset.
