So we have decided upon Winnie (Winona on her BC but never called that) for if we have a DD. But we are still struggling with a large list of boys names. We already have an Arthur Hugh, Lorcan Robert and John Thomas.

We’re thinking of either Patrick or Nicholas as the middle name.

The names we like are Cormac, Elric, Angus, Douglas, Fergus, Edmund, Francis, Ralph, Charles, Edward, Frederick, George.

Could you help narrow this down. We are still open to more suggestions.

John Thomas??? Shock

You do know what a John Thomas is??

Thank you all! We’ve still got a few months of considering yet but think we’re either gonna go with Elric (I know it hasn’t got many votes but I love it), Cormac or Douglas.
Don’t get me started @ilovepixie John is my grandads name so DH was adamant to use his grandads as a middle name!. He kept convincing nobody will know his middle name and I was off my face on gas and air when we named him.

John Thomas 😂😂😂

I would eliminate Cormac, Fergus and Francis - Cormac is a tad like Lorcan, Fergus next to Patrick sounds VERY Irish (unless that’s what you’re going for!) and too many s’s with Nicholas, same for Francis.

I love Winona and it’s now going on my list! 🙂
