Hello,

We are struggling to name our son. He has a double-barrelled surname (English/Turkish) and we are looking for an English first name/German middle name.

I like Noah and Elliot... DH doesn't. He likes Zane Confused

No idea on the middle name yet! Ahhh!

Not Zane. It's not a real name. Maybe James?

Rarfy · 27/04/2019 21:46

Zane Elliot is nice. Congratulations!

YahBasic · 27/04/2019 21:49

I like Zane.

Oskar, Isaac, Reuben, Dominic.

Zane/Zayn is very much a real (Arabic?) name.

imaginealltheoranges · 27/04/2019 22:07

Yeah, it's a real name, I'm just not a huge fan Grin Zane Elliot does sound nice, but we want a German middle name and I really don't love Zane, thank you though.

Never been a huge fan of James. Do like your suggestions @YahBasic will have to run them past him and see what he thinks! Thank you!

What sort of English names do you like?

What about Frederick? Would work in English and German? Could be Freddie as nn?

WokenUp · 27/04/2019 22:14

Sebastian is my all time fave name. The only one I know is a young German lad

Wilhelm? He could then anglicise it later if he wanted to.

Shadow1234 · 27/04/2019 22:43

Elliott is a lovely name.
Not keen on Zane

Neolara · 27/04/2019 22:48

Jem. I think this is also a Turkish name but spelt Cem.

Zach Eloy/Elbert

I don’t like picking random middle names though - I think you should pick a family name if you don’t have any names you love
