James-It’s basic, but I love it
William-Like both, probably William
Fred-Not a huge fan of either, but they’re both good names
George-Only because of my amazing granddad. Otherwise, Charles no doubt
Joseph-Just like James
Thomas-I do like this, it’s my dad and brother’s middle name
Charlie-Though it’s my dog’s name
Walter-Good, not a huge fan of either
Will-No contest
Clarence-I don’t like Ernest. Both are fine though
