Give It To Me Straight.

We're having twin boys.  Any other combo for these twins and the name would be set.  But I just can't find a second boy name we love.  

Our last name is similar to McDonald 

Twin A is going to August Jack (Gus)  McDonald.

Twin B was going to be George Joseph but I don't know if I love it anymore.

I like "old man names".  Nothing too trendy.   My husband likes names that sound like the kid could be a baseball player.   

 DD's name is Bea so my current favorite boy's name, Arthur, is out. 

Other names we like:

Morris  

Oscar

Palmer (My Grandpa's name but  it sound like  masturbator, right?)  

Any opinions (from this board...I'm gonna guess a few) or suggestions? 

I'd also love to know what your son's or favorite boys names are so I have an idea of what you like.  Thanks.

huh? 

I think we have really similar taste--I adore August, Arthur and Oscar. My DS's name is Rhett. Other names on our list that you might like:

Walter, Martin, Elias, Henry, Vincent, James, Lewis, Felix, Avery, Hector, Clark, Ezra, Asher, Phillip

I love your boy names! I don't think Arthur is automatically out because of your daughters name. Does anyone know who Bea Arthur is anymore? Love Arthur, and also love Oscar. Other old man names I adore that you might like: Abraham, Walter/Walt, Lloyd, Oliver, Graham, Jasper, Moses.

I think Theodore (Theo), Leo, or Miles (Milo) would go really well with August. 

Our top boy name right now is Grant.  I also like Graham, Noel, Brooks, Dean, Reed and Pierce (Obv)

Yes.  We have VERY similar taste in boy names!   Rhett is adorable, both name and baby!

I am a HUGE Golden Girls fan so any one who knows me would give me the Bea Arthur side eye.   Thanks for you other options.  I'll be reading them to DH tonight!

Ah, thanks! Your daughter is adorable as well, and I love her name! You have good taste (in names and toddler clothes...I love her little dress!)

Palmer is my GP name but I wouldn't do it for the same reason. I'd like to add Harrison/Harris, Whitman/Whit, Davis, Hugh, and Franklin.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.

My grandfather was Arthur, and his father was Maurice (changed to Morris when he immigrated to the States).  

DS2 is Otis.

George is not attractive sounding and Morris and Oscar sound like cat names to me. Just giving it to you straight.

I like August Jack but George Joseph kind of reads "Bland" to me.

Felix, Edwin, Theodore, Henry, Wallace, Desmond all read "cool old man" to me.
