Unusual middle names

58 replies

I'm so bored with May/e, Rose, Grace etc. I have a middle name like this (but of my time) and it feels dull as dishwater.

So, I'm viewing a middle name as an opportunity to use the names that I'm not brave enough to use as first names. So far my list consists of:

Aldous
Amos
Atticus
Errol
Ford
Paris
Rocco
Rollo
Valentine
(DH is legitimately desperate to add Danger in there too!)

Coral
Hero
Opal
Rio
Scout
Venus

Faves from my list?
Do you have any out there/brave names you like that I could get away with as a mn?

It's v cool to have an unusual middle name. I have never met anyone with the same name as my middle name (except my aunt who I was named after - won't say it as it will put me) and it's always been 'well' received with appreciative noises! When I was younger I wished it was my first name (very ordinary). So a great idea I think and I like pretty much all of your choices, especially Aldous.

DH likes Rocco and Rollo together, as a nod to Rock and Roll. I despair!
