Blimey. You did ask....

Update I have gone off Tristan. It's a great name just not for us. Current front runners are Toby, Johnny or James.

James is my favourite name for a boy ('nn' Jamie).
I like Johnny too, especially as it was my lovely Papa's name.
Honor is a fabulous name!

I think Tristan is a great name and goes well with the lovely name honor, too.

allyfe · 02/10/2013 20:33

Daughterofafarmer it is really hard when there is nothing that grabs you. I got all tied up with thinking about whether names would be a fad, and what was popular, and what wasn't. For my dd we went for a name which was much more popular than I would have liked, but it was my favourite name for years and so we decided to stuff the fact that it was going to be a fad, and use it anyway. But you can't ever predict with names really, unless it is something that is currently really professional. And just to add, I don't know any Honors and I know a lot of middle class professionals :)

Middle class professionals

ally nothing that we really love. Finding it tough.

susie who?

allyfe · 02/10/2013 20:04

Oh, always read the second page. I LOVE James. I also like Tobias (nn Toby). Johnny I'm less keen on because I don't like Jonathan.

Suzietwo · 02/10/2013 20:03

I liked honor but think it's been over used by a certain kind of parent

allyfe · 02/10/2013 20:02

Don't like Tristan personally. Do really like Honor. Any other things you like OP? Personally I don't think the names of siblings have to 'work' together. They spend so little of their lives related to their siblings. Just go for names you like.

I have a Tristan & for yrs he couldn't pronounce own name correctly, plus folk think he's Christian, Dustin or Justin. And people mispell or mis-say it routinely. Of your alternatives I like James best then Johnny. Honor is a bit stark for me, though. Sort of harsh & plain. But it goes well with James.

James actually means "lame", if you are that bothered by meaning or insinuations.

Love them together.

So a right mix of reactions then?

Regards of views do you think I works with DD's name?

Any other name suggestions?

OP posts:

catgirl1976 · 18/09/2013 19:53

Ah yes, we cats have superb taste in names

CatAmongThePigeons · 18/09/2013 12:10

People are idiots, I fear I know more idiots than most who can't spell or pronounce names properly.

Cat girl has a Tristan too, there's something about cat folk who have great named children

SkodaLabia · 18/09/2013 11:27

Honor is beautiful.

I'm another who finds Tristan a bit lacking in oomph for my taste. But I'm agog that people can't spell it!

catgirl1976 · 18/09/2013 07:28

Tristan means noisy :)

I have one and he is neither wet nor sad (he is noisy)

I love it (but of course am biased)

schplappo · 18/09/2013 01:42

Honor is the best ever name for a girl! (biased...)

Tristan goes pretty well with it, I think.

If you change your mind, how about
Theodore
Lucian (Luc)
Alexander
Milo
Thibault
Tobias
Mont(gomer)y
Darius

Good luck!

cat some people are idoits. Personally it says more about them than the name Tristan.

Tristan is miserable name for me. Don't like the meaning at all.
