Sorry I only like Reuben or Finley. My ds has James as middle name - he's Alexander James.

If I was having a boy it was going to be Elliot James (it's not).

I hope you don't mind me saying that I prefer your list to your husbands, Tobias is lovely.

I like Reuben, Tobias and Orion.

I wouldn't worry too much about 'matching' the middle name as it gets so rarely used. Spend more time finding a first name you both love!

He may give that impression, but he'll be quick to pounce on a name if he dislikes it. Got long to go?

Of the 3 you gave, I like Tobias or Toby best.

Why not kid him on you're considering Achilles or Troy?

Tobias James sounds best, and also like Toby.

Another one here who was considering Elliott James - in the end went with a different middle name (used a family name instead)

Thank you for the names everyone - Finlay is certainly my favourite, we'll have to see who the stork brings Smile
