Need help for DS #2!

We have a son named William. I am having the hardest time settling on a name for his little brother! We have been talking about Wesley or Henry. I really like Henry, but the royal association with Prince William and Harry (real name Henry) has come up a few times so I am just not sure about it. I think William and Wesley is cute, but not sure about two W names, but this will most likely be our last child. A few other names we like are Connor and Hudson, but not really sold on those. Any thoughts on these names? Other suggestions for the perfect name for William's brother? I am stuck.

    By the way I love the name Henry with William too, if it doesn't bother you that you'd be asked about the royals I'd use it!

    William and Henry sounds lovely.  If you love Henry, then use it.  I actually did not know that Prince Harry's real name was Henry.

    I love William and Henry, but definitely make the association with the royals. I also think that William and Wesley are too close. I prefer Connor to Hudson.

    Other suggestions off the top of my head (sorry if there are repeats):
    William and James
    William and Maxwell
    William and Thomas
    William and Nicholas

    I think the royal connotation is too strong, and Wesley is too matchy. Unfortunately, you may have to keep looking. 

    Another suggestion that I love (but doesn't work with my last name): Conrad.

    I like the combo of William and Wesley, I don't think it is too 'matchy'.
