My husband and I are very close to our Grandads and we'd both long decided if we had a boy, we'd use their name as the middle name, William and George. We can't agree on which Grandads name to use, so as a compromise we thought about using both but I don't know if two middle names are too pretentious or long winded?
We like Arthur or Edward, so it would be either:
Arthur George William
Arthur William George
Edward George William
Edward William George?
The other option is to use one as the first name and one as middle name, so either:
George William
William George
But firstly how do we decide who's Grandad to put first and secondly, we visit our Grandads quite often so if we did use one as a first name, would that get too confusing?
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you
