Update I have gone off Tristan. It's a great name just not for us.

Current front runners are Toby, Johnny or James.

Thanks for your views. Thanks

Love them together.

I have a Tristan & for yrs he couldn't pronounce own name correctly, plus folk think he's Christian, Dustin or Justin. And people mispell or mis-say it routinely. Of your alternatives I like James best then Johnny. Honor is a bit stark for me, though. Sort of harsh & plain. But it goes well with James.

James actually means "lame", if you are that bothered by meaning or insinuations.

Don't like Tristan personally. Do really like Honor. Any other things you like OP? Personally I don't think the names of siblings have to 'work' together. They spend so little of their lives related to their siblings. Just go for names you like.

I liked honor but think it's been over used by a certain kind of parent

allyfe · 02/10/2013 20:04

Oh, always read the second page. I LOVE James. I also like Tobias (nn Toby). Johnny I'm less keen on because I don't like Jonathan.

Middle class professionals

Daughterofafarmer it is really hard when there is nothing that grabs you. I got all tied up with thinking about whether names would be a fad, and what was popular, and what wasn't. For my dd we went for a name which was much more popular than I would have liked, but it was my favourite name for years and so we decided to stuff the fact that it was going to be a fad, and use it anyway. But you can't ever predict with names really, unless it is something that is currently really professional. And just to add, I don't know any Honors and I know a lot of middle class professionals :)

I think Tristan is a great name and goes well with the lovely name honor, too.

daughterofafarmer · 02/10/2013 20:52

Wow suzie you're on fire tonight! I tell you want kind of parent's we are, caring, kind, considerate and most of all not prejudiced against certain types of names.

James is my favourite name for a boy ('nn' Jamie).
I like Johnny too, especially as it was my lovely Papa's name.
Honor is a fabulous name! Smile
