Hi, Am due in about 5 weeks and can't decide on a middle name.

We've chosen Matthew as his first name. for a middle we like Adam or James.
They both go well without surname so which do you ladies prefer?

James.

Adam doesn't sound right.

Matthew James is lovely
Good luck!

James

Seems like we're onto a winner with James!

Matthew James is lovely. I like Adam but it doesn't flow right after Matthew

TobyLerone · 31/03/2013 14:53

Matthew James = DS's middle names :)

James, and I say that as someone who should be biased towards Adam

farmersdaughter · 31/03/2013 15:25

Or both...

Matthew James Adam?

Love Matthew, everyone's heard of it but not hugely popular.

Snazzynewyear · 31/03/2013 15:30

James. Flows better as has been said. Matthew is a good choice.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/03/2013 15:32

Adam is my favourite of the 3 names, but agree that Matthew James works better. Personally, I'd forget Matthew and go with Adam James!

VisualiseAHorse · 31/03/2013 15:36

I love Adam.

But if you're set on Matthew as a first name, I'd go with James for the middle name.

Or both...??

QuickLookBusy · 31/03/2013 15:37

Matthew James.

Bowlersarm · 31/03/2013 15:38

Love all your choices. Just one thought from me-if you used Adam would his initials spell a name once you include your surname M A .....D? T? N? and if it does, would it matter

simplesusan · 31/03/2013 15:57

Matthew James.

seekingpeaceandquiet · 31/03/2013 15:58

thanks for all your suggestions. we have thought about the initials and they dont add up to anything wierd.
