Ok, still struggling to settle on a name for ds3. This is about my fifth thread on the subject now!

We have a Dylan and a Miles..

We are now considering Travis Morgan

Surname starts with a D, 3 syllabils.

Opinions please!Smile

Thanks birdSmile

Thanks Kveta for the suggestionsGrin

I'm still struggling to settle. The only thing I can say at the moment is that when I imagine looking at my newborn and calling him a name, Harrison seems more 'right' than Travis, not sure why..

I suppose Harrison Morgan does kinda go.. Will have to discuss with dh some more I think!

I'm not a big fan of the name Travis (you know my taste in names is common classic in the extreme though :o)

But I think Harrison sounds good with your surname - and with your other DS's names. I think Morgan would sound fine as a middle name with Harrison and your SN though, in fact I think it flows really well :)

for other scottish names:
Hamish (I LOVE this name, it's a really happy name to me!)
Struan
Stuart
Graeme
Archie
Aiden
Blair
Barclay
Boyd
Calum
Ewan
Kier
Lachlan
Moray/Murray
Ross

I love Travis. There should be more of them. Dylan, Miles and Travis sounds brilliant. Go for it.

I know a 4yo Travis, think it's a great name! I've never really loved the name Morgan personally but I think they do go together.

Travis goes well with your other DS's names, more so than Harrison imo.

debi thanks for that info! That's interesting as we live 5 mins from the sea and that was part of the reason we chose Dylan (it means something to do with the sea, can't remember exactly what now!). Also, we have a Scottish surnameSmile

I like Travis. Sounds good with your other boys names too.

debijon11 · 15/05/2012 17:37

Oooh and just looked up Travis, it's a Scottish form of Thomas, so not two surnames after all.

debijon11 · 15/05/2012 17:34

Morgan orignially is a welsh boys name meaning 'white sea' or bright sea'. Mor is sea in welsh.
I think that Travis Morgan is a lovely name :)

Oh and Harrison, yes, that can be a surname but it is Harrison Ford's first name. So, you see, it doesn't really matter (to meWink)

Um, it really doesn't bother me that they sound like surnames and I am equally not concerned about giving him a 'proper' name..

I'm just choosing the names I like the sound ofSmile

Not watched taxi driver so no connotations from that for me.

I really don't think of Morgan as a surname anyway. I can only think of people with it as a first name.

I know a toddler Travis :) I think it's a lovely name and should be used more but not too often!

MoonHare · 15/05/2012 16:50

Definitely sounds like two surnames - and Harrison is yet another surname. Morgan is unisex but that may not bother you.

Personally not keen on any of them but if you like them than why not go for Travis or Morgan or Harrision but with a middle name that's a 'proper' boys name rather than a surname?

Travis makes me think of Taxi Driver (Travis Bickle), not necessarily brilliant connotations for a boys name, depending on your view of the character of course.

GnocchiNineDoors · 15/05/2012 15:53

Travis is my 'boy name' but DD was a girl so we'll have to keep it.

I know one, and he is without a doubt the coolest kid I have ever met (and I worked with kids for a few years). Not saying it's down to the name, but it does give it a nice meaning for us.

I also know a (boy) Morgan who is wonderful and I've never known anyone question whether he has a girls name.

I never think about first-name middle-name matching-ness as when do you ever really say them all together anyways? My DD has a first name that we loved and a middle name that was our second favourite. I have never once thought whether they 'go'.

SilkStalkings · 15/05/2012 15:50

Travis Morgan sounds like a merchant bank. And how come nobody has mentioned Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver?

Clearly showSmile

Yeah, I know a Morgan who is a girl too but then there's also Morgan Freeman who's super cool..

stellan Harris just reminds me of the people who make paint brushes.. Sorry! Holden just reminds me of Amanda Holden and I find her really annoyingGrin

Stellan · 15/05/2012 10:40

You like Travis and you like Harrison so why not Harris? Dylan, Miles, and Harris.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Francis.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Trevor.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Ewan.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Rowan.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Dashiell.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Declan.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Evan.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Gareth.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Rhys.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Holden - bit like Harrison?

Or Dylan, Miles, and Nathan.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Malcolm.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Lewis or Louis.

Or Dylan, Miles, and Jonas.

I find surname type names really naff so we clearly have different taste. But I too thought of Travis Perkins. Two surnames together screams No Win No Fee.

I know two young Morgans. Both girls.

Just had a look, there are Travis Perkins' round here!Grin

Regardless, it's not really a problem to me, Morgan is a completely different word to Perkins isn't it.. I could understand if we were actually going to call ds Travis PerkinsGrin

Harrison Travis is nice but when you say it with our surname it doesn't really flow.

Is Travis Perkins a company down south or something? I've honesty never heard of it! We live oop north (almost in Scotland). I don't really mind if it does sound like a company as we won't be using his middle name on a daily basis, so it'll be Travis D........ (our surname).

I don't think he'll have an earring, no Grin

I happen to like names that sound like surnames, I think they're cool..

rachel234 · 15/05/2012 09:54

How about Travis Alexander? I think Dylan, Miles and Travis sound great together!

tethersend · 15/05/2012 09:52

Chipping- I love it for personal reasons too... Hope it's not the same Travis!

Janoschi · 15/05/2012 01:09

I know a wee Travis. I also know an amazing young man Travis too. It's a fab name.

ChippingIn · 15/05/2012 00:55

Sorry - I don't like Travis, personal reasons - but I just couldn't name a boy that :(

Harrison is nice though - my friends nephew is Harrison and he is absolutely gorgeous!
