37 weeks and still no baby name!

37 weeks and really worried about having to settle for a name that we don't love for our baby boy. His brother's name is Henry Francis and the names on our list are:
1) Theodore
2) Arthur
3) William (Will)
4) Edward
5) Benedict (Benjy?)
I want a strong, classic name with a friendly feel. Peter and Charles would also be on the list if they went better with our last name. I feel like it's between Theodore or Arthur or perhaps we could go with Theodore Arthur. I think Teddy is sweet for a boy, but I'm afraid it would get shortened to Ted. I'm on the fence about Theo. Arthur is a family name and I like that it is a little less popular than Theodore, but I think Theodore has a warmer feel to me. I think Archie could be a cute nickname (is that a stretch to go from Arthur to Archie?). I like Will a lot, but both Charlotte and Phillipa (Pippa) are names we like for a girl and I don't want to box us in with the royal names. Benedict is super meaningful to us, but it's also the name of our nephew (goes by Benny). I like Benjy, but it also makes me think of Benjy Madden so a lot less classic than Henry. Edward is nice, but I don't like the Twilight association. Thoughts?

For yours, I like Theodore and William. Benedict is too "Benedict Arnold" and the other two I can't get over as grandpa names (somehow grandma names are usually pretty but grandpa names I find just plain blah). Edward is a nice middle name though.
Good luck with your name, Abby!
