Decided on 1st name for DS - Samuel but struggling for middle name, had decided on Joseph but for some reason gone off it now (much to my DHs annoyance).

My DD has a long first name and short middle name, while I like. So wanting a some ideas for short boys names to go with Samuel.

Not Luke or Tom as already in family.

I like Theo.

Any suggestions???

James, John, Mark... or indeed Theo, which sounds good with Samuel to me.

Mark is DHs name, he keeps 'joking' about using it. Ummm NO!

Hmmm, like Rory and John.

James, Louis,, LGeorge, Niall. I love Joseph but that's my little one's name!!!

John is a really good idea - sounds lovely with Samuel.

I always like middle names that have a family connection, are there any you could use from grandparents or great-grandparents, or a loved uncle?

I know it's your, dh's name, but why don't you use 'Mark' or another family name for your baby?

Dd1 has my name as her middle name. Ds1 & dh share the same middle name & dd2 has my dsis' name as her middle name. I like 'special' names that mean something for middle names.

Just a thought...

Thank you all.

After a discussion with DH we are liking:

Felix, Josh, Jacob, Morgan, Rex

I do like the tradition of using family names (my DDs middle name is my grans) but my DH does not actually like his name, he is joking about using it. I do like his name for the record :)
