WDYT my top 3 boy names?

I posted my top 3 girl names yesterday, so here are my names for boys.

James Dasheill Wilson
(fn after dh's grampa, 1mn scottish surname pn Dash-ul for my family, 2mn after dh's grampa)

Archer Titus Scott
(2mn after my dad)

Atticus Hamilton Bruce
(1mn after dh's gramma, 2mn after my ggramp)

Bonus unisex name that I like but probably wouldn't use
Starling Jaymes Aeryn
(1mn and 2mn after me, yeah hubris)

Boy's names are harder for me to put together. Wdyt about these?

Re: WDYT my top 3 boy names?

James Dasheill Wilson: I love Dashiell spelled Dashiell, but I've never seen it spelled Dasheill. I think that James, Dashiell, and Wilson are all very, very handsome, but I think that something longer in the middle would make the flow even better.

Archer Titus Scott: I think that Archer is handsome, but I think a longer middle name would really help the flow.
Because Titus ends in an S and Scott begins with one, the S's cancel each other out when I say the name out loud.

What about switching things around for Archer Hamilton Scott?

Atticus Hamilton Bruce: I really love the name Atticus!

My favorite names are James, Dashiell, and Atticus.

Good luck! :-)

Ah, I misspelled Dashiell! Thanks for the critique of the other names, it helps the process! Boys names are harder for me because there aren't many men in my family or my hubby's and I'd like to use family names in there.
