My mind has gone blank, it's full of Moon Units and Dweezil Zappas.

We tend to go with 'unusual' names for our dc, balanced by a more traditional/ conventional/ classic middle name.

dd's is Isabella, ds's is William.

So I need some for this baby please, just in case a boy. Hit me!!

Most people love it - he is called Zeph for short.

He now has a new brother called Barnabus william

I love Ambrose - not allowed, though, according to my dh (sorry for hijack!)

Edward was one of the middle names that I was considering for a Zephaniah, was one of my grandfather's names.

It sounds nice together. What kind of reactions to they get to Zephaniah? and what does it get abbrev to?

MargaretB My list is my dad, granddads, brothers, male cousins, nephews and uncles. Ambrose is a long standing family name of many, many generations (as middle name of eldest son of eldest son), but I do agree, it is a bit "out there" compared to the rest of the list. I love it, but am biased.My brother chooses to use it as his first name, but it really suits his big stature and gregarious nature.

If I have another Boy, I'm going to call him Nicolas Henry.

mumnosbest · 05/04/2009 12:10

My favourite Anthony (with a th not t) but I'm biased

ItsMargotBeauregarde · 05/04/2009 12:06

Bikerunski, I like you're list apart from Ambrose!?!

LetThemEatCake · 05/04/2009 10:11

all middle names though Margot, so they don't tend to get shortened!!

I think I like Benedict best from these lists.

Maybe Matthew after my brother, that might be quite a nice gesture.

Richard with Richie for short.

Bella, Billy and RIchie

I also like Marcus, Peter, Dominic, Gregory in the classic category. Classic but out of fashion I like Donald, Howard and Victor.
