Help narrow down our short/medium list

[Heavystream]

So we have decided upon Winnie (Winona on her BC but never called that) for if we have a DD. But we are still struggling with a large list of boys names. We already have an Arthur Hugh, Lorcan Robert and John Thomas.

We’re thinking of either Patrick or Nicholas as the middle name.

The names we like are Cormac, Elric, Angus, Douglas, Fergus, Edmund, Francis, Ralph, Charles, Edward, Frederick, George.

Could you help narrow this down. We are still open to more suggestions.

I like
Edward
Ralph
George
Frederick

Oh and Winona/Winnie is very sweet!!

I absolutely love Cormac and Douglas.

Magnus?

I like Arthur, Cormac, Charles and Nicholas best from your list x

Cormac, Angus, Douglas, George are all super cute!!!!

Oh and I love Patrick as a middle name

Douglas Patrick 💕

Quintin??... From your list I agree Douglas Patrick is a good name.

I love Elric

Cormac or Angus

Congrats!

I like Douglas, Edmund and Ralph the best.

I love Angus.

Angus Patrick would be lovely.

I really like:

Douglas Patrick
Edmund Nicholas
Edmund Patrick

I would eliminate Cormac, Fergus and Francis - Cormac is a tad like Lorcan, Fergus next to Patrick sounds VERY Irish (unless that’s what you’re going for!) and too many s’s with Nicholas, same for Francis.

I love Winona and it’s now going on my list! 🙂

John Thomas 😂😂😂

Thank you all! We’ve still got a few months of considering yet but think we’re either gonna go with Elric (I know it hasn’t got many votes but I love it), Cormac or Douglas.
Don’t get me started @ilovepixie John is my grandads name so DH was adamant to use his grandads as a middle name!. He kept convincing nobody will know his middle name and I was off my face on gas and air when we named him.

John Thomas???

You do know what a John Thomas is??

Heratnumber7- OP's son is already named that- don't poke fun at it now it's already been used. It's quite niche anyway and the vast majority of people won't know what it means.

@Heratnumber7 if you read the post above yours you’ll see that I do know, and we have a reason for it. He will very rarely go by his full name and there is no reason that any peers would ever know it. So it would be very unlikely that he would be made fun of.

Yep yep. Read the post of explanation after I'd posted myself.
Honestly though OP, I'd be looking to change my son's name in your shoes. Thomas John would be better. You could still call him John. Lots of people go by their middle name.

I have no idea what the issue with John Thomas is- I think it’s a nice name!

Angus Patrick gets my vote

Francis, Angus and Fergus are my favourites.

I kno you didn't ask, but... such (by and large) solid traditional boys' names and then Winona/Winnie? I'd honestly rethink that one. Hardly seems fair on her.

And yes, you might want to think about giving John a retrospective extra middle name - before Thomas.

We have a Douglas nn Dougie so I'm biased but it's a great name

You’re right, she didn’t ask...

We aren’t going for names that ‘go’. If we had John, George, James and Kai because they’re names that we like then we’d go with that. It just so happens that we like Arthur, Lorcan and John as well as Winnie. I think as much as Winnie isn’t necessarily traditional it’s still quite old fashioned. But as you’ve said, I didn’t ask, already decided upon a name and are asking for your help regarding the boys list I’ve posted.

I’m glad you’re not in my shoes then. We’re happy with my sons name, we won’t go through the haste of changing it. As I’ve said nobody around here calls it a John Thomas. He will never go by the name John Thomas. So if you aren’t here to give me opinions on the boys name list I posted then please don’t comment.

I haven’t come asking for opinions of my 2 year old sons name, that we already love and will never consider changing.

Thank you to everyone that’s gave me helpful answers.
