Russell
DH suggested this and while it was never a favorite we both have positive associations with the name and as I never even liked DS2's first name til after he was born, I have become more flexible.
Thoughts on it?
Is it ready for a comeback?
Combos?
If we were to have a 3rd the first middle name would be George. I'm not loving the flow of Russell George LN and I'm trying to think of a second middle name.
Also I kind of dig Rustle as a GP.
ETA: I would probably use Russ as a nn most of the time. Maybe Rusty on occasion.

Russell is a lovely, timeless name IMO. Russ or Rusty are pleasant nicknames.
I don't feel any particular connection to Russell, so wouldn't use it myself, but I like it for other people.
The vibe I get from it is laidback and self-assured, plus I think Russ is a cute potential NN that ages well.
I'm really fond of Russell George together. George is another name that's not quite my style but that I like to see. :)
These are my favs using your "usuables" and "MN only" lists:
Russell George Aram
Russell George Fergus
Russell George Joseph
Russell George Laurence
Russell George Lysander
Russell George Morgan
Russell George Nicanor
Russell George Omar
Russell George Rayner
Russell George Rembrandt
Russell George Solomon
Russell George Somerled
Russell George Sterling
I also thought of these:
Russell George Reuben

I quite like Russell now that I think about it. I think it could be ready for a comeback. I've honestly never really mulled it over but it's quite handsome and Russ and Rusty are approachable and fun nicknames.
I don't mind Russell George with your last name but I think a second mn would be better, especially considering your boys have two as well.
Russell George Francis
Russell George Gabriel
Russell George Patrick
Russell George Anthony
Russell George Somerled
Russell George Linus
Russell George Louis
Russell George Ernest
Russell George Justus
Russell George Abraham
Russell George Winfield
Russell George Ulysses
Russell George Douglas
Russell George Thomas
Russell George Winston
Among some that I just liked for no reason, I tried to throw in some saints, some chemistry inspired names, and some military inspired options haha

I think it could make a comeback! Especially since it's also used as a surname. I actually like Russell George, it's very classic... How about
Russell George Anthony
Russell George Henry
Russell George Joseph
Russell George Oliver
Russell George Peter
Russel George Thomas
Russell George William
Russell isn't my favorite, but it's alright. What are your other childrens' names? Just curious how Russell sounds with them :)
