It's Zephyr

I know it's a bit marmite but I don't care.
We Love it.
It's a 'real' name,it works with sibling names,gives cool nn's Zeph or Zephy...fits all our criteria Grin

So,Middle names for Zephyr please!

Alfred,Eric,Edward,Fredrick,Albert.

These are family names with some meaning that we could potentially use...

I'm with RunBike - my first thought reading your post was also James.

Zephyr James is a truly cool name.

Well....we haven't done the family name thing for the others as there are SO many traditions we couldn't do them all,and if we did one without the other then....well you get the jist...

Baby's due at the beginning of December so perhaps a wintery theme (I'm atheist though so not Christmasy)

The other DC are Skye Matilda Rose and Arlo Phoenix

Discarded but still liked names for this one are Rufus,Caspar and Asa....I don't think any really 'go' as a MN but it gives you an idea of taste...

(I'm really glad you guys like it btw Grin )

Oh I know you don't want opinions but I flipping love it.

If you don't have a middle name which means something to you, then I'd go with something short and punchy (Zephyr Frank or Zephyr Bram for example) or something much longer (Zephyr Raphael or Zephyr Erasmus for example). Nobody you want to honour, no special meaning you'd like to include?

I like it Smile only known one and he was a fab kid.

I think it would go with almost anything else tbh, what sorts of names do you like? Are other names in the family traditional or alternative?

MikeLitorisBites · 03/11/2013 14:36

Any family names?

What was the one you really wanted but couldn't have? Does that go?

You'll get loads of people coming on saying to give a really boring name as a middle one so he will be able to use that when he is a top judge.

I love it. How about Caleb, Jackson, Jeramiah?
