Middle name to match Moriarty?

mrsHawk1ns · 19/10/2014 17:32

Our DS1 is called Harry Moriarty, and we are expecting DS2 but fear we have peaked too soon with Moriarty as his middle name as we now can't think of anything equally "different" uncommon, or on a par with Moriarty as DS2's middle name. I know I'm not helping by not revealing the 1st name we've chosen for DS2 but am a bit precious about it & haven't told family yet. So, going on this crappy post, has anyone got any suggestions?? (no, it wasn't through our love of Sherlock Holmes!)

Going with a 'titons of the Victorian Period' theme:
Isambard
Brunel
Bell
Lister
Bazalgette
Livingstone
Faraday

Or an Irish theme to go with Moriarty:
Rafferty
Raftery

What a lot of fab fun names!
Besides Mycroft (obviously), I like above suggestions of Peregrine, Hieronymus, Dorian, and Isambard.
Or how about Herodotus!

I'd go with Sebastian Sherlock and claim a family connection to Conan Doyle
