Expecting a little boy and DH and I are struggling! Middle name will be either William or Jack (or both) and surname is short, one syllable.

We like:

Rufus - not sure if I’m brave enough
Dylan - very popular round here so puts me off

And that’s as far as we’ve got Confused English/Irish background but DH has vetoed Irish names. Not keen on anything very popular, modern (Jaxon etc) or what DH thinks is posh (Tristan/Caspar etc).

We know what we don’t like Grin Help please!

Either Rufus William or Dylan Jack. They don't flow well the other way around. Of the two, I prefer Rufus William.

James? Richard? Philip? Christopher? All go well with middle name choices.

All quite classic. Richard is perhaps due a revival.
