Henry Charles Peregrine Tobias Sampson?
If not I need something special
I need to keep Henry, Tobias and Sampson
Henry(first) Sampson(last) Tobias can be anywhere

I'd personally try and reduce from 5 names if you can, that's a lot for a small person to remember, let alone spell. Of your names I like Charles best for the first name (nn Charlie).

Henry Charles Tobias Sampson.

Henry Peregrine Charles Sampson

Or maybe Henry Tobias Peregrine Sampson?

Imagine him saying it out loud on his wedding day. If the crowd are sniggering, rethink...

CricketRuntAndRashers · 18/05/2017 19:24

Btw, is Sampson your surname?

I don't think you should use more than 2 middle names, tbh. But that is admittedly a personal preference.

MiniMaxi · 18/05/2017 19:58

Three middle names is a bit excessive imho, unless you have a real reason to. Are you landed gentry?

Henry Charles Tobias Sampson is classic and flows well - that's assuming Sampson is your surname

flibberdy · 18/05/2017 20:33

For some reason I can't say Peregrine without sounding like Jonathon Ross. For that reason I'm not keen on the name.

I think two middle names is plenty. Think of the amount of boxes on a passport form for the name, it wouldn't fit!

SuperBeagle · 18/05/2017 22:22

That name is way too over the top.

Henry Tobias Sampson is fine.

Henry Charles Tobias Sampson is too much, IMO, but it's still ok.

Adding in a third middle name is ridiculous.

Whereisthecake · 18/05/2017 23:54

That sounds very over the top. Would expect a very rich, well educated, grown man with a name like that haha.

Henry Tobias Sampson is lovely.
