As you're probably guessed, I'm stuck for middle names!

Serge -

Definitely John. It's a good strong, masculine name.

Fletcherl · 19/08/2016 22:02

Saul. My choice
Gilbert DH

Sadly we never had children of our own

capercaillie · 19/08/2016 22:04

Alexander - love the name but had a girl second time.

velocitygir1 · 19/08/2016 22:15

Lawrence Douglas, both names of my two dead great uncles.

I have a Callum and a Ewan :-)

cornishglos · 20/08/2016 00:06

A family name

EssentialHummus · 20/08/2016 00:11

They'll all have (Russian) DP's first name as a middle/patronymical, so no need to choose. Rather relieved as choosing the first name is hard enough.

Middle names are essential.
Everyone has that school playground conversation at some point, be very boring without one. My DS has his uncle's name as middle name. If I were to have another DS, which I won't, I'd use my late grandfather's name Ernest. Not James. Everyone has a relative with that middle name.

Carter

Enkopkaffetak · 20/08/2016 01:28

He would be named after FIL Bertram

JetSetWilly · 20/08/2016 01:31

William. Can't believe how many said the same!

MishMooshAndMogwai · 20/08/2016 01:33

Will

My late grandads name that is love for a first name but now have a william for a step son so that's that plan ruined! Grin

Strokethefurrywall · 20/08/2016 01:46

Scott Carlton would be the middle names. First name would be Griffin.

Scott is BIL name and Carlton is a family name which I love.

Both DS1 & 2 have two middle names.

MrsGardenIng · 23/08/2016 15:02

Christopher or Alexander depending on the first name.

itssquidstella · 23/08/2016 15:10

Gilbert or Montgomery

MrsJoeyMaynard · 23/08/2016 15:19

I would like to use my dad's name, but DH isn't so keen as it's a bit dated to modern ears. Grandfather's names have all been taken either by our DS's or other family boys of a similar age.

SorenaJ · 23/08/2016 15:58

Christian. A family name.

HerRoyalNotness · 23/08/2016 16:07

Dane (my DB name and this will be our last)
DH wants Murphy (boy or girl(!) he is a movie buff, grrr)

ArmyInRed · 23/08/2016 16:08

Benjamin.

Horseshoe1 · 23/08/2016 16:56

Sebastian.
It depends on your first name choice but I like a long middle with a short first! Alexander also sounds lovely.

soundsystem · 23/08/2016 16:59

James

(My late granddad's name)
