Have some lovely girls names but struggling to find boys names!

Would love James for middle name but open to changing if the right first name comes along. Also surname (pronounced Linkofski) is difficult to pair with a first name.

All the names we have liked sound too much like my sons name, Damon (Caden, Aiden, Dylan, Byron etc etc)

Any suggestions welcome :)

perhaps not then ! what about Christopher ? although it's another long name I kind of like the "regality" of it !

Arthur? I think that would sound nice. Arthur James Linkowski
Samuel?
ooh - eric james sounds nice
Elijah?

Edward James Linkowski

Your surname has an elegant sound to it.

Re the Alexander/Alex issue, we have an Alexander who has always been known as Xander and quickly corrects anyone who uses Alex as a nn!!!

Just a thought!

James, just James.

potbellyqueen · 20/09/2011 22:07

I like Andrew James.

DS has James as a first name and Edward as a middle, I think they go nicely together, our surname also begins with L.

Tristan James Linkowsk
Max James Linkowski
Xander James Linkowski

I thought Rowan when reading the title. Is that too close to Damon?

I really liked Frederick James for DS, but our last name is one syllable ending in s, so James didn't sound right. I still occasionally have a little wobble and think we should have just gone with it anyway!

EdithWeston · 02/10/2011 11:48

I think, with your surname, a classic pan-European name would be a good choice.

So yy to Alexander.

And how about Marcus, Ferdinand, Maximillian (nn Max), Henry, Charles, Phillip, George?
