I would go for James. William and Jacob are really common recently. James is extremely common- as a middle name though. Charlie Edward Daniel

William Joseph Thomas or William Thomas Joseph was the first to come to mind. I don't like doubling up on children's initials, that's why the other are out for me.

Your not boring, just traditional and nothing wrong with that IMHO I think William Thomas has a nice ring to it.

I wouldn't use James or Jacob as a first name with Jack as a brother. That leaves William as my pick. What about William Thomas Jacob or William Thomas James? Or...

I agree with PP about not using James or Jacob if you already have a Jack - a different J name, say, Joshua, would be ok but James and even more so Jacob are too alike IMO. From your list that leaves William - and William Thomas goes well together, also Jack and William are good as sibling names.

Well I'm biased but half the Jacks I know ARE Jacobs. So I might leave that one off. Nice as it is. I like William and that it has more available nicknames. Will/Billy/Liam gives a lot of flexibility to individualize within its relative popularity. Jack sounds great with William.
