Middle name for a boy?

11 replies

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and husband and I are stuck on a middle name for our baby if it's a boy!

First name 2 syllables starting with an "R", Surname 2 syllables starting with a "D".

We were thinking Theodore. I LOVE Garfield too, but if he turns out ginger or tubby it could go badly!

Only limitations are I don't like chavvy names or biblical names (sorry if anyone finds that offensive- couldn't think of a better way to put it).

Any suggestions welcome!

It's really difficult to make any suggestions without knowing what you define as "chavvy".

I won't be upset or offended or say anything nasty if you do say a name I don't like, just looking for suggestions! Where I live we get a lot of Americas Next Top Model Wannabe names like Jenassica/Adrianna/Shandi/Tocara/Monique kind of names, usually with ridiculous spellings! (obviously those are girls names!)

Like Theodore but not Garfield. I like biblical so struggling slightly but how about Jake or Max(well/imillion as you wish). I think maybe a single syllable would work?

Maxwell is nice :)

I just don't like overtly biblical names (not being religious) so the Noah/Elijah/Jacob/Levi/Gideons of the world are out, but those that are more common and more loosely related are fine :)

I think that Rufus Garfield is fantastic tbh.

Not really into family names either! (and ours are a bit dull!)
