I can't think of a mide name for Séamus, any ideas?

Ds will be 5 weeks old when I take him to be registered on Friday but I can't think of a middle name for him.

His name is Séamus, his surname is common Irish (think The ___ Bunch)

I would like him to have 2 middle names as his brother does but am lost for ideas.

There aren't any family names I want to use, I've been considering Patrick but not because I particularly like it but because I can't think of anything else.

Any ideas?

I think it has to be 2 short names.

My vote is for Seamus Michael Malachi.

Aww, I assumed your surname was Munch at first.

Séamus Ruari Evan Surname

Séamus Ruari Amos Surname

not sure why, but I think it needs a name starting with a vowel.

Ginebra · 04/03/2013 16:32

Séamus Eoin flows well.

Some lovely suggestions, I have four boys and their first and middle names have been suggested a few times on here - you all have good taste!

I really like Ruari. I wanted it as his first name but was over ruled.

Séamus something Ruari Surname

Or

Séamus Ruari something Surname

One name down, one to go!

Seamus Michael John

millymae · 04/03/2013 16:00

We all have very different ideas about this. I love the name Seamus but I'd have Paul as a second name and Alexander as his third. Seamus Paul Alexander sounds lovely with what I think is your surname.

PeneloPeePitstop · 04/03/2013 15:43

Ruari

Lafaminute · 04/03/2013 15:40

I would give him something unusual - my children have fairly ordinary names but unusual, even odd middle names. This is because while there might be other Mary Kelly's or James Smiths in their lives there'll only be one Mary Turnip Kelly or James Aduki Smith......
