Middle name to match Moriarty?

mrsHawk1ns · 19/10/2014 17:32

Our DS1 is called Harry Moriarty, and we are expecting DS2 but fear we have peaked too soon with Moriarty as his middle name as we now can't think of anything equally "different" uncommon, or on a par with Moriarty as DS2's middle name. I know I'm not helping by not revealing the 1st name we've chosen for DS2 but am a bit precious about it & haven't told family yet. So, going on this crappy post, has anyone got any suggestions?? (no, it wasn't through our love of Sherlock Holmes!)

In a similar moustache twirling tweed jacket vein, I'd say. Grin

Mycroft

Love the Mycroft suggestion!

Warwick is good, or Montgomery?

Arrestus. Sounds better said out loud!

I'd go with Sebastian Sherlock and claim a family connection to Conan Doyle

Besides Mycroft (obviously), I like above suggestions of Peregrine, Hieronymus, Dorian, and Isambard.
Or how about Herodotus!

Going with a 'titons of the Victorian Period' theme:
Isambard

Bazalgette
Livingstone

Or an Irish theme to go with Moriarty:
