Help naming boy with two sisters

MrsD1MrsD1 member
in Baby Names
After two girls you'd think naming a boy would be so simple. For years Henry has been our boy name and it's still a maybe. However now that we're actually having a boy and I've said the name aloud with our last name, I'm exploring other options. Last name ends with a Y. Too many "y"'s? The only other name DH and I can agree on is Jack. Love Jack and it sounds awesome with our last name (3 syllables) and the most likely Japanese middle name (also 3 syllables) but I'm worried about the popularity of all of the variations, Jackson, Jaxon, Jax, Jaxsen, the list goes on.

Other names I like are William, George and Jude. Unfortunately DH has a good friend named "Jorge" so George is out. DH has vetoed William because he's convinced he'll get called Bill. And Jude is just too matchy with DD2, Juliette. Also love Charlie but that one's gone to the girls.

I like classic/traditional names for a boy, one or two syllables. Not really into nicknames so Andrew (which I also love) is out.

DD1 is Gabriella and DD2 is Juliette.

Please help with any suggestions!

    I have a Jack (just Jack, none of this Jaxson nonsense) and the other names we considered were Benjamin and Lucas.
    And because I feel like I have to say it every time someone asks if Jack is short for something:

    I agree with the Jack point. Between it and all it's variations it's everywhere. Totally disagree with Charlie (which is a NN by the way and you said you didn't like that). I would go with Charles and NN Charlie. I think vetoing William and Andrew for the NN reason is silly. Your girls names could easily lead to Gabby or Julie/Jules. Is that an issue you have now? You don't have to use NNs. I know plenty of people with kids who only go by full names and it's a non-issue.
