Yup, matrix here too.

Very odd combination. Aiden is a lovely name but not paired with Neo.

No not a joke..

Not my baby, but one I witnessed come into the world on Sun.

Perfectly nice normal parents bt the way - not stoned hippies or similar.. but wanting an N middle name as, for own reasons, would like the initials ANT and its a T surname

(I may have spelt Aiden wrong actually - it's not a dead cert yet)

Noel would be better, I think.

N names not easy though?

Noah
Nigel
Norman
Nicholas
Nehemiah

none of them great and can't off the top of my head think of others.

Its seems a bit odd to me. I can understand avoiding certain combinations, like GBH, but don't really get aiming for an ANT combination!

Neo Taliban

Neo-dada

Cant think of anything else neo but it is a prefix that simply means new.

Aidan Neo sounds like 'I don't know' in a comedy Welsh accent.

No, but this is surely a joke?

I think it is a very silly name, but as it's a middle name it probably doesn't really matter.

Nathan, Nick, Nutella, Nico

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 27/08/2008 22:07

I thought of Noah. And Nathan which is nice but doesn't really go...

2 syllable surname by the way.

It's a name I dislike intensely tbh. Plus, a name starting with the letter N does not flow from the suggested first name. When giving out the full name it will just sound like its one long name because the middle name starts with the same sound the first one ends with. Sorry

Why not Neil?

first name ending in -n, and next one beginning n is a bit tricky to say and hear.
