To go with James..

[MmmnoodlesoupIsDueXmasEve]

A few names ideas to go with James as a middle name:

Oliver

Tate

Conan

Nolan

Kaine

Bowie (dp likes)

Marlow

What do you think?

Oliver James goes well but Oliver has become very popular in the last few years.

Kaine James doesn't flow too well.

I think Oliver is your best for that middle name IMO.

Yes, Oliver is kind of our back up name if we can't decide! It has become so popular recently which does put me off a little.

You're right about James Kaine

Do you really like James?

Sounds like you are just 'going with it' and not 'loving it.'

I think you need a long name to go with James.

James Sebastian
James Malachi
James Benedict

Yes I do, it's my fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers name etc so very important to me.

I'm not sure about a long name because the surname is quite fussy and double barrelled

James Oliver then.

Thanks :)

Some of those names are just awful (sorry) - Conan, Nolan, Marlow...

:(

Any suggestions?

My DS is James Franklin, his dad picked his middle name and I wasn't keen originally but love it now

I know a couple of James Arthur's which I quite like.

Umm, James William perhaps?

Interesting to see Marlow there - I really like it, although was thinking about it for a girl's name (not that I need one, just in general)

James Oliver definitely has a classic feel about it - I can't imagine you would ever regret calling your son it.

James Christopher

I know a Cameron James, Adam James and Marcus James.

Alexander?

James Michael
James Nathaniel

James Oliver makes me think Jamie Oliver

James Daniel - my own DS' name!

Samuel James?

James Oliver reminds me of Jamie Oliver. Oliver James is great though.

Thank you everyone. I do like Oliver a lot

James Alexander would have been my friend's baby if she'd had a boy. Just remembered that!

I've got a James William, he's blooming gorgeous if that helps! I only knoea couple of Oliver's and they are all sweethearts.

James Aaron

everlong: :-( :-( xx (Indeed a lovely name.)

noodlesoup: I think you've got a really interesting shortlist there. Marlow is very sophisticated indeed, nice choice.
