Middle names for DS3...help!

[wisteria12]

Hey, DH and I already have two DSs and a DD; Atticus, Algernon and Celeste, and we've decided on Cuthbert for DS3, with Cuth as a NN (not Bert or Bertie, because it's too ambiguous; everyone will assume he's called Albert). We are stumped on middle names, though, and could use some advice. We always use 3 middle names, and to give you an example of our taste, Algy's full name is Algernon Leopold Alaric Xavier. We like strong, classic names, but preferably not too common, either.

Wow, thanks! I like Clement, Edmund, Basil and Ludovic. My brother's name is Bede, so maybe it would be nice to keep it in the family.

Woah. You have weirdly similar taste to me. I literally have every name you've said on my shortlist. That's bizzare.

[sophieimogen]

Boniface is fab!

[wisteria12]

As in "Bonifus"? That is quite nice.

Cuthbert Horatio Edmund Bede.

[wisteria12]

Sorry, Horatio makes me think of CSI:Miami, but I like Edmund Bede.

(I love older English, Germanic and Greek/Christian names for boys)

Ignatius would fit in with the family names. Congratulations.

[wisteria12]

Ignatius is quite cool in a sort of Irish Catholic way. Cuthbert Ignatius. Thumbs up from me.

[wisteria12]

I like Bartholomew, but not the others.

Slightly of the basic point, but how about Cully as a shortening for Cuthbert? Cuth just sounds so harsh by itself.

[wisteria12]

sparkle - That's a good idea, actually. I know what you mean about Cuth, but I couldn't think of anything else. Thanks!

[sparkle12mar08]

Sort of goes with Algy too

Benedict

[wisteria12]

Benedict is nice, I considered it as a first name but it would inevitably be shortened to Ben, which is a bit dull.

[baskingseals]

it's a lovely name - do it!

[wisteria12]

Just an update - We've decided on Cuthbert Stanley Edmund Vere.
