if you love the name you gave your son

[cuppaneeded]

please tell me what it was... middle names too please!

DS1 - Shaun William, William after my dad and, if I'd had my way, would have been his first name

DS2- Jason Thomas - Jason after the captain of the Argonauts from Greek mythology

Matthew Christopher
Didn't choose the 'Matthew' bit and initially hated it, but think it's fab now

Edward

• It's great as everyone knows it but it's not over used. I like the bear associations too from Winnie the Pooh - such great stories which my Daddy read to us as children.

And some great easy short versions ... the cute Eddie for when they're young, and the cool Ed for when he's a teenager/ older. Edward if he wants to impress ! DH sometimes calls him "The edge" too which I hadn't thought of

(But isn't everyone going to out themselves posting their kids names on this thread - second names too !)

DS is Otis.

Can't post middle names as I'd out myself :-)

Flynn Jago

Love it, is the most perfect name

James Daniel- entirely my choice and I love it, Daniel is my brothers name and I just love James.

Luke Edward- Dh chose ds2's name and it took me a long while to get used to! Edward is my dad and grandad's middle name and wanted to keep the tradition.

Finn

Jude

Love both

Dennis John, named after dp's dad who passed the year we got together, coincidentally ds was due on the same date.
Although I do think I was tempting fate..

Alexander. Won't put his middle name, I'm afraid, as it would out me irl

Frederick Charles known as Fred. It suits him down to the ground. With my DD I had lots of nicknames for her as it took me a long time to get used to her name being hers iyswim, but Fred is a name I love saying (and believe me, I say it a lot! little bugger)

Frederick Benjamin

Noah Alexander

He would happily build and sail an Ark if I'd let him

Roderick Stanley. Roddy for short. I was a bit unsure when DH first suggested Roddy, but it suits him so much and is unusual too. Stanley is FIL's name.

I can't tell you what I called DS1 as may well out us... but any future DS2 would probably be Ivo Alexander or Ivo James.

Dylan McGregor
Miles Elliot

Elliot Peter

(loved Elliot, Peter was my grandpa's name).

Still love it, 9 years on.

Jago James Nicholas

Rohan Michael.

Michael after my lovely Dad.
DS loves his name too.

Aleksander Franciszek, known as Olek

Fergus Alexander Cavendish

Oswin Mercurey

Thomas Michael Alexander and Ethan David John.

I think Ethan and Alexander are my favourites.
Sometimes I do get all romantic about having a Tom though!

Elis

I love both of my boys' names - they are Philip Colin Edward and Rupert Arthur Stephen. Out of them my favourite names are Philip (who is always Pip) and Arthur. I think Pip and Arty would have been great but DS1 just isn't an Arty!

I am not going to do them in order but I will give you the names of my boys all mixed up.

Asher
Lennon
William
Billy
Rudy
Cassius
Hendrix

I would have loved a Wilder Luther Atticus Dylan Thelonius but its probably a good job I am not having any more
