What do we think of...

First and middle names. Middle names are family names, and our last name is 2 syllables starting with an S.

Cody James
Brodie James
Elliot Patrick
Anthony James

I am beyond sick of thinking of names. Due in 10 days, and DH is now also so sick of us not being able to agree that he has told me to just pick whatever... which has made it harder!

DD likes Cody, I like Brodie, DH likes Anthony, and Elliot is just a random choice.

Any other suggestions will be gratefully received!

The only one I like is Elliott.

Allalonenow · 02/12/2014 21:31

I like Patrick very much.

hoobypickypicky · 02/12/2014 21:36

I'd opt for Elliott James. Anthony's bound to end up being called Tony and Cody and Brodie are a bit too try-hard for me, but I very much like Elliott James.

DramaAlpaca · 02/12/2014 21:36

If you can't agree, go with the random choice. I like Elliot best of all the options.

Elliot James or Elliot Patrick are both good.

Anthony - OK, as long as you also like the inevitable Tony nickname.

Not a fan of the others.

I love Elliot Patrick and Anthony James

FWIW I'm from an extremely Italian family and no little Anthony (under 45) seems to be called Tony anymore.

mummybare · 02/12/2014 21:46

Love Patrick and James. Elliot is nice too.

Only1scoop · 02/12/2014 21:47

Only like Patrick and James

Codey awful

ArchangelGallic · 02/12/2014 21:48

I prefer Patrick James.

Only1scoop · 02/12/2014 21:48

Sorry Cody....or Cod eye not sure which....

Macloveswill · 02/12/2014 22:00

I only like Elliot James

florascotia · 02/12/2014 22:30

Patrick James would be great.

beebeebumble · 02/12/2014 22:40

Not keen on Cody but love Brodie - it was high on my list for DC which turned out to be a DD. I'm not so sure James goes so well with it though...?

Chatty987 · 02/12/2014 22:41

Elliott Patrick or Elliott James.

Cody and Brodie sounds like mid 90s surfers. I can;t help thinking "dude" after each of them.

Elliot is quite nice. Patrick is fantastic. Anthony is fantastic. James is lovely.

Elliot Patrick

Also quite like Brodie James

Vijac · 03/12/2014 08:12

Elliot. Or maybe Cody.

AmysTiara · 03/12/2014 08:19

I like them all except Cody

Primaryteach87 · 03/12/2014 11:44

Brodie has bad connotations for anyone who watched Homeland....

mymummademelistentoshitmusic · 03/12/2014 11:48

Brody and especially Cody are bloody hideous. The others aren't.

carbolicsoaprocked · 03/12/2014 15:50

Elliot James is my favourite, but Patrick also goes well with it. Not keen on the rest I'm afraid.

Leeds2 · 03/12/2014 16:18

Prefer Patrick and James.

TsukuruTazaki · 03/12/2014 16:54

Primaryteach87 - no it doesn't!

InanimateCarbonRod · 03/12/2014 16:57

James Elliot is lovely strong and masculine.
