The thread on grandmothers names has given me loads of inspiration for DC2, so I'm now looking for the same for male names.

Mine were William and Ronald
DH were William and Harry

Arthur and Mario Dante Virgilio. My great grandfather got to the office to register his name and could not remember what he had agreed with my great grandmother. So he went with his favorite authors. It suited my Pop so well!

thundernlightning · 15/08/2012 02:47

Sylvester and James for DH.

Aloysius and Eustace for me. Eustace hated his name so much that he changed it to Hugh, my other grandfather always went by his initials. I actually like both names.
