Dennis John, named after dp's dad who passed the year we got together, coincidentally ds was due on the same date.
Although I do think I was tempting fate..

Finn

Jude

Love both Smile

James Daniel- entirely my choice and I love it, Daniel is my brothers name and I just love James.

Luke Edward- Dh chose ds2's name and it took me a long while to get used to! Edward is my dad and grandad's middle name and wanted to keep the tradition.

Flynn Jago

Love it, is the most perfect name Grin

DS is Otis.

Can't post middle names as I'd out myself :-)

Edward

  • It's great as everyone knows it but it's not over used. I like the bear associations too from Winnie the Pooh - such great stories which my Daddy read to us as children.

And some great easy short versions ... the cute Eddie for when they're young, and the cool Ed for when he's a teenager/ older. Edward if he wants to impress ! DH sometimes calls him "The edge" too which I hadn't thought of Smile

(But isn't everyone going to out themselves posting their kids names on this thread - second names too !)

Matthew Christopher
Didn't choose the 'Matthew' bit and initially hated it, but think it's fab now Smile

DS1 - Shaun William, William after my dad and, if I'd had my way, would have been his first name

DS2- Jason Thomas - Jason after the captain of the Argonauts from Greek mythology

Middle names after Grandads, 1st names just coz we liked them Grin

Jack Patrick
Rory Noel

Love both their names.

My eldest son Jack who lived for two hours was called Jack Thomas Anthony
My second son is Wilfred Thomas Anthony! Jack was his Dad's favourite name. Wilfred was picked because we wanted an old fashioned name! Thomas and Anthony were their Grandads names! The really spooky thing is that we didnt realise that Wilf was deaf until he was two and the first person my late dh worked for was a deaf man called Wilfred!!! Shock
Oubliette0292 Good name choice!!! Wink

AnathemaDevice · 25/02/2012 19:44

Nicholas Robert. Named after Nicky Wire and Robbie Fowler. (Middle name not my choice!)

WitchOfEndor · 25/02/2012 19:41

Jack Alexander. Don't care how popular (or not) his name is, it suits him!

OvO · 25/02/2012 19:41

Alexander William Stewart

Poor wee monster having so many big names to learn to write! Grin

NoMoreCakeOclock · 25/02/2012 19:36

Joseph David. Love it.

Joel Dylan. He was going to be Jacob Alexander, but didn't look anything like it when he arrived. I love the name Carter, but DH hates 'surname' names and our surname begins with a C too.

DD1 would have been Joseph Anthony.

GlaikitFizzog · 25/02/2012 19:24

Blair Thomas and I can't imagine him being anything else!

BornToFolk · 25/02/2012 19:24

Henry Joseph. I'm only a little bit annoyed that we used Joseph as a middle name as I love it so much I really want to use it for a first name, if we ever have another boy.

I clearly have very similar taste to rockinastocking as I love Arthur too but can't use it thanks for DP's annoying surname...
