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.

Angus or Douglas Patrick.

WillowRose79 · 06/09/2018 08:19

Love all these names! Ralph and Angus are my fave- prob Angus

Posted too soon..

Not keen on Elric, Fergus, Edmund, Francis, Edward or Ralph.

I like Cormac and Frederick, but neither work with Patrick, and not great with Nicholas either (though ok)

I like George Patrick too, but (at least near me) George is very popular at the moment so i’d personally go for something else.

The middle names aren’t set in stone. We are open to suggestions if you think another name would go better

Elric Douglas gets my vote. It's strong and handsome.

Ojoj1974 · 06/09/2018 23:17

Douglas is my all time fav boys names. Although I actually have a DS called Monty...

Douglas Patrick and Edmund Francis are beautiful, strong names. The rhythm is great in both but it depends too on your surname.

John Thomas? 😳

Sorry, shutting gob right now.
Tbh never sure why people ask for opinions on baby names.
Everyone has an opinion and really it’s nobody’s business but the parents

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/09/2018 09:08

Ralph Patrick.

OutPinked · 07/09/2018 09:47

I only like Edward and George.

MaryBoBary · 07/09/2018 10:15

Angus, Douglas or Ralph from your list

arwenearlythereyet · 07/09/2018 10:21

I love Douglas too.

Heavystream · 07/09/2018 18:42

We’re going with Douglas or Edmund

Edmund. Douglas is a bit dated.
Patrick for a middle name.
