This or that?

Having a lot of anxiety deciding between two names. In a perfect world I would get 2 more sons and be able to use both names but in the event I don't, I'm wondering which name is more appealing. 

Nolan James (James is middle name of DH and is FIL name) we did not use a family name with ds1 so I'm not sure I want to make a trend of it, as both DH and I and my brother have family middle names and I feel a lot of pressure to continue even if I like other names better 

Rhys Thomas (pronounced "reese". Rhys is welsh, I have a lot of English Scottish french roots, ds1 has a Dutch first name after DH Dutch and German roots. Thomas is the name of a little boy in my community who just recently passed away from cancer at 4yo and his death has really affected me)

Last name rhymes with drink  
Me: 29  DH: 31, married 6/21/14, TTC since 7/14
BFP #1 EDD 7/17/15, MMC 1/9/15 @8w
BFP #2 4/3/15= ectopic treated with methotrexate 5/1, YET ruptured 5/18/15= One Tube Wonder!
2 Cycles of Femara, Ovidrel, & Progesterone= BFP #3 DS born 5/17/16
TTC #2 March 2017 (initially med free) 
BFP #4 8/14/17 *natural cycle* EDD= 4/25/18, MC @5-6w D&C 9/22/17
BFP #5 12/29/17 w/ Femara/Ovidrel/Progesterone/Synthroid, EDD= 9/11/18 found out 1/18 ITS di/di TWINS!!!
DS and DD born 8/21/18

    Nolan flows with your surname better.

    Would you consider Thomas Rhys?

    I LOVE Nolan! I would have used it for our baby except our DD is Norah, and I think they are too similar.
