I'm really struggling to find a middle name I like for our chosen first name of HENRY if this baby is a boy. My first son is Charles Alexander and I like the idea of a long middle name as our surname is only four letters. All I can think of is Frederick. I want old English/Saxon/Viking if possible - definitely not any Hebrew/Biblical as I don't like the meanings. Also despise made-up names, modern names and trying to stay clear of William, Edward, George as we would have too many "king" names in the family.

Also, we have decided on either Matilda or Mathilde (wondering if we can get away with the latter or if it is pretentious) and did think of Alice, Beatrice or Violet for middle name but hubby really likes Madeleine. Could we do "Mathilde Madeleine" or is it too many M's?
 
Henry Franklin
Henry Benjamin
Henry Archibold

Was going to suggest Henry George until I read on and saw that it was a no go for you.

As for Madeleine I love it, (was one my chosen first names for my last daughter but ended up using it as a middle name instead). I think it sounds fine with Matilda. xx
 
I like Matilda Madeleine -- sounds pretty together!

Love Henry, so cute!

Henry Christopher
Henry Andrew
Henry Sebastian
Henry Geoffrey
Henry Douglas
Henry Maxwell
 
I think Henry Maxwell is a great sounding name.

Love Matilda too x
