Hi, we have decided on the name Austin for our DS.
DH is pretty set on the middle name of Spencer but I'm not so sure yet. What are other peoples opinions and or other suggestions?

Austin Spencer sounds like a company name.

Sorry, I agree it sounds like a department store.

They are both surnames so I think that's why the combination is like a company name. It reminds me of Marks & Spencer. I like Austin but would put it with a non-surnamey middle name.

Austin Joseph
Austin Charles
Austin Luke
Austin Zachary
Austin Gregory

Austin is a nice name, not keen on Spencer.

Thanks everyone, it's good to know other people are on the same wave length as me! Now to tell DH it's a no go!!

Spencer doesn't really go. You could have Morris, Healey, Powers, Ambassador...

Although I like Austin, whatever name you put after it will make him sound like a firm of solicitors! That doesn't matter though, you rarely say both your names out loud. Just pick a name you like.
