Please don't switch any names around Grin

Elliott John sounds too much like Elton John!

So on that basis alone, Noah Joseph

AmeliaLouise · 05/07/2018 19:35

I didn't think of that Grin is it much of a problem?

I know you said not to but.... Elliot Joseph! Pp is correct that Elliot John is too like elton John. Elliot is a fab name, way better than Noah which I think will date.

I know you say don’t switch them around but agree with Lass about Elton john! I also worry Noah Joseph sounds like the start of a list of important figures from the bible. All nice names but I really would change the orders around!

AmeliaLouise · 05/07/2018 19:45

The only reason I say don't is because I have a slight preference for Elliot (Joseph is DH's dad's name) and DH has a slight preference for Noah (John is my dad's name) so it makes it balanced Grin

I obviously got that the wrong way around. My preference (DH's dad's name in the middle) and his preference (my dad's name in the middle) Smile

Noah is really popular ATM and I love Elliot, so I'd go with that. Who cares what the middle name is? No one knows what someone's middle name is unless they check their passport. I have two middle names and they're utterly redundant!

Cyberworrier · 05/07/2018 19:52

I think Elliot Joseph sounds lovely, maybe awkward with the dad thing I guess but ask your DP!

DiegoMadonna · 05/07/2018 20:06

Noah Joseph for sure.

Although I prefer Joseph Noah Grin

DiegoMadonna · 05/07/2018 20:07

Yeah, first names are the most important thing really. And I like Noah much more than Elliot.

Elliot Joseph Grin

Elliott John. I didn't think of Elton John and presumably your baby would normally be known as Elliott without the John. It's nice to see something other than James as middle name for a change!

Baubletrouble43 · 05/07/2018 20:56

Have both grandads in . . Elliot Joseph John!!

Elliot 100%. Lovely name.

Noah is boring and oh so popular.
