Four G3 battlecruisers would likely take admiral names

Recently released admiral names supply stronger Royal Navy candidates than battle names such as Camperdown.

Question

If all four G3 battlecruisers were built, what names might accompany Nelson?

Short answer

An admiral-name group is likely, with Duncan, Collingwood, and Jervis as plausible available choices.

Notes

The G3s were associated with an admiral naming pattern, making available historic commanders the strongest guide. Duncan and Collingwood had recently become free after older battleships left service, while Jervis offered another prestigious naval name.
