The thread on grandmothers names has given me loads of inspiration for DC2, so I'm now looking for the same for male names.

Mine were William and Ronald
DH were William and Harry

Arthur Stanley Cole (known as Art) and Thomas (known as Tom).

Great grandads were James Cole, Charles Edward, and Thomas

Mum's dad was James but was known by his middle name, Gordon. Dad's dad was officially Thomas but went by Walter (not his middle name though).

John is alright, at least!

Grandmothers are much more current, between us we have two Margarets, Patricia and Mary.

John and John. Yawn.

vvviola · 14/08/2012 21:08

Raymond and Thomas.

If DD2 had turned out to be a boy I was fighting for Raymond as a middle name. One of my biggest regrets is that Grandad died before I met DH. They would have got on famously - although I'm not sure the rest of us could have handled two of them with the same sense of humour!
