I quite like Kurt, and I like the idea of adding Ivan in too.

Sundaedelight · 14/08/2014 19:47

I wouldn't get too hung up on initials. I like your choice very much.

Kurt Frederick Coughlin is a great name, very masculine.

UriGeller · 13/08/2014 15:06

Frederick Kurt Coughlin? Fred is such a cool name and lacks the fanboy association of Kurt. Kurt Coughlin is too close to Kurt Cobain.

Honestly though, Nobody really cares about initials unless you're the personalised number plate type.

Ah I see OP. Well Ivan gets my vote for the third name.

However bear in mind people won't necessarily know his middle name so won't know his initials are KFC.

We like Kurt as a first name and want tonuse Frederick as itvis my Granddad's name.

So we are stuck with KFC, unless wecadd a third name.

KFC may not be an issue, but kids can be cruel.

I like just Kurt Ivan.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 13/08/2014 13:54

I like Ivan too. Do you have to have three names though?

Kurt Frederick Phoenix Coughlin?

Ivan is cool, thanks.

OP posts:

nemno · 12/08/2014 18:02

I like it

Other middle name might sound best with 2 short syllables eg

Peter
Ivan

Montsti · 12/08/2014 17:52

I really don't like it, sorry.

bac1985 · 12/08/2014 17:50

I'm open to suggestions for a second middle name.

OP posts:

Whenwillwe3meetagain · 12/08/2014 15:39

Please use Frederick or Hunter instead of Kurt as a first name!

bac1985 · 12/08/2014 15:34

We have decided on Kurt Frederick Coughlin.

As the initials are KFC, we want to add a second middle name :) which is proving quite difficult.

What do you think of Kurt Frederick Hunter Coughlin?

We also like the name as it fits our criteria:

Traditional (Germanic)
Uncommon
Doesn't sound middle class

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 14/07/2014 16:21

However I actually quite like it.
