short list down to these three... for the longest time any DS was going to be Silas, but just not sure if it would be seen as a bit poncey.... middle name Brady for family reasons, and a loooong surname!

what do you think? any other suggestions to throw in?

Fletcher Brady is lovely. [adds Fletcher to collection of surnames which are actually jobs, but have a feeling that fletching was not a fun thing..]

Just checked.. it's nice, a fletcher was a maker of arrows.
Could suggest Archer, though that is going to be V.V. popular due to Robin Hood's brother.

I like Silas but prefer Joseph. Not keen on Fletcher.

Like Joseph best out of those.

None of them are appalling, prefer Silas to Fletcher.
