Is Griffin a contender?

[Mrsfullhouse]

Ok! I am struggling hideously with a name for the little boy who is about to make a grand entrance in my life.

I have previous threads highlighting my 'issues' (crazy super rich and upper class Mil, wet husband rooting for the boring names, stupid stupid surname)

So...

Griffin House (does it sound a bit Harry Potterish)
Lysander House (Lice House??? Sandy House???)
Thomas House (sooooooo boring?)

Lysander and Thomas have been floating around, but never really loved etc. Griffin is new.

Help...

Great name. Good luck!

see Oubliette I love the name Griffin but I agree it can't be used with House...

Great thread, hope little JJ arrived safe and well

Jonathan James is fab. Hope he's arrived now - and how odd your contractions started just as you decided on the name!

Oh yes JJ.

And you can always attempt to induce another heart attack in The Bejewelled Crone by telling her you wanted something similar to Jay-Z, and playing her a few select tunes

Baby Jonty James House arrived safely at just gone 5 this afternoon.
A healthy 7lb 9oz.

Beautiful! X

Oh OP he's lovely!

Congratulations

I honestly think because I suddenly relaxed about the name, my body relaxed and let go!

So happy, and he really is a little Jonty!

Thank you all for your help deciding, it was driving me crazy.

Must go, he's mewling for more kisses and snuggles xxx

No way! That is amazing! Congratulations!

His name is gorgeous and so is he.

Gorgeous! Congratulations and welcome to the world Jonty

Awww, he's lovely. And he looks like a Jonty.

Little treasure!!!

Congratulations - he's beautiful. Welcome to the world Jonty James House.

Many congrats x

Congratulations on Jonty's safe arrival, he's a peach!

But can I just say that although I agree that Griffin wouldn't have worked with your surname, my DS is Griffin and it's a fab name! Easy to spell and pronounce, interesting without being 'out there', great diminutives; Griff or Finn, a cool mythical creature.

Mine is 14 now, I have had so many compliments about his name over the years and I really don't think encountering it as a first name leads many to think of a fringe politician.

In fact round here I'm much more likely to be asked if I support the local football team who play at Griffin Park or have a fondness for the products of a local brewery. (I don't to either.)

Just sayin'! Got to stand up for the best boys name ever! But don't you guys all go and use it and make it trendy!

Have you googled Jonathan james shoe shop?

Don't worry mothership, was only joking about the white Supremecy thing, but I work for the local tory party, so just before the elections, it could have been a very bad move!

I still absolutely Love Griffin, and will be recommending to a select few of my pregnant friends Who don't have stupid surnames!

Ds1 is arriving very shortly... All hell is about to break loose!!!! [Grin]

Mrsfullhouse, Jonty is beautiful huge congratulations.

Gregory House!
Is your sur name really house?!

Jonty! Lovely.

Did Jonty bring his big brother anything? DD arrived with a trike which was obviously much more interesting than she was as far as my Griffin was concerned!

Oh wow he is gorgeous! Congratulations

Aww, he's lovely. Today the England squad for the Football World Cup was announced and the announcement happened at Griffin House (Vauxhall HQ) so it would have been apt in one way but I think you made the right choice.

Congratulations! To finish what I was planning to say......

Jonty is beautiful, and has a great name!!!
