Title says it all really, I want to balance up a longish first name and surname with a short middle name but can't think of many, I have rather got stuck with names beginning with B for some reason and DH doesn't like them (Ben, Bay and Blue suggested so far).

Any good ideas?

There is a dog in our family called Rex, although I agree it is a good name. Actually, if DD had been a boy we wanted to call her Herby and the day before she was born BIL texted to tell us he had bought a dog called Herby. I was livid!

Rex, it means king and is unusual at the moment

shareastory · 26/03/2010 12:55

my grandson is Rex, it means king and is not common

Wilf! Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I like Wilf a lot. it makes me look like good too for going along with the family connection

Wilf sounds good with our long surname too.

yay!

Wilf! How cool!

Hmm. What's his Grandad's middle name? (If he had one.) That might be more in keeping with what you're after and would also honour him as your DH wishes to do.

BessieBoots I am 37 weeks pregnant so due any time really.

DH said last night he wants to consider Wilfred after his grandad which doesn't fit with other names we are considering at all!

Meant to add Huw, too, but see at least three others have beaten me to it! However, I "fourth" their suggestion.

Mabli is a lovely name.

My boys were born in May and September, and if they had been girls their middle names would have been Mai and Medi. Of course they were boys, and when I finally had a girl she was born in Februray, and Chwefror didn't have quite the same ring to it!

BessieBoots · 25/03/2010 10:52

When are you due? Mai is nice if she's born in May...

(dammit, have gotten sidetracked with girl's names...)

notsoteenagemum · 25/03/2010 08:07

Mabli is lovely Peas, I like Mali too.

BessieBoots · 25/03/2010 07:28

Oooooooo Mabli! Looooooovely!

fabhead · 24/03/2010 23:20

notsoteenagemum, the girl's name is likely to be Mabel or Mabli.

I really like Beau!
