Middle Name Help: Simon _______

42 replies

kagc1114 · 06/07/2022 17:36

Hi! We are due with our second son and I’m really struggling with a name. We already have an Arthur Brave. I’m warming up to the name Simon but have no idea what would be a nice middle name????? Nothing too long as our last name has four syllables. I’d like something with meaning - he’s an ivf baby, our last embryo, and will be the final member of our family.
Any ideas welcome!

Simon Leo

Just wanted to say that Simon is a great choice, I really like it. Easy to spell, easy to pronounce but really unusual nowadays. Great for a boy and a man.

Simon Peter is a strange choice if he will usually be known as Simon. Simon is the part that is dropped when referring to the biblical figure.

Would you like another virtue name?

Simon Clement?
Simon Endeavour?

Congratulations — you must feel blessed to have 2 successful ivf pregnancies.

Benedict — perhaps a bit longer than you want but means blessing and goes well

How about...

Simon Artemio

Artemio means complete, perfect.
It also means follower of the goddess Artemis (she had a rough life but is known for her strength, connection with nature etc).

Wish I'd known it existed when I need my own son!

A relative is Simon David, David means beloved.

Simon Peter is nice. Peter means rock so is a strong name also.

Is Simon a bit sixties

grannyjacob · 07/07/2022 00:40

My son is Simon Peter, we’re not at all religious but I thought the two sounded good together. Plus, his big sisters initials were already SP, and their Dad wanted them both to be the same (don’t ask, he’s my ex, and had some quite odd ideas at times).

Simple.

Nice play on the rhyme, and alliterative too.
