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?

Alexander Patrick. I think they go well together.

Callum
Owen
Padraig if you're considering Patrick, to keep with the Irish spellings

For some reason, 'Claude' popped into my head.

Finnbar, Oisin, Donnacha, Ronan

Or something short like Jack or John

Aw, he's gorgeous.
Definitely a bit of Declan in there.

Congratulations Grin xx

Joseph or Michael. Good, solid names that have always been well regarded in Ireland.

Here he is if anyone needs inspiration. I think I am going to put all suggested names in a hat and pick one at random as I just can't choose.

Riley?

NomenOmen · 04/03/2013 12:58

What about Colm or Columba (if you're feeling brave!)?

Séamus means James so it would be like having James James for a name (I do like James though)

My children's, nephew and brothers names have been mentioned Smile

It doesn't need to be Irish. I quite like Merlin Blush

Eoin?

BlueChampagne · 04/03/2013 12:47

Patrick did spring to mind, but if you're not mad keen on it, how about:
Aidan
Brendan
Ciaran
Devlin

If it doesn't have to be Irish, how about Alexander, Michael or Laurence?

HolidayArmadillo · 04/03/2013 12:45

Thomas even.

HolidayArmadillo · 04/03/2013 12:45

James? Ian? George? Tomas? Finn?
