If baby is a boy think we have decided on Deacon just need a middle name. From my shortlist what do you think works?

Deacon Alexander
Deacon Elliott
Deacon William
Deacon Joseph
Deacon Luke
Deacon Jude

Thanks

Deacon Jude
Am sorry I can't get away from the church link though.

Deacon Lube work's best

Deacon Blue? Deacon is a religious title. Are you sure? All your middle names are great.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/05/2019 15:44

Epic autocorrect fail for Deacon Luke, I hope 🤣

Well my Deacon is Deacon Barry. It's like using Priest as a first name.

bridgetreilly · 21/05/2019 16:11

What if he actually becomes a deacon, though? It would be so weird.

ThatCurlyGirl · 21/05/2019 16:15

Isn't that like calling them Archbishop? Could shorten to Archie I suppose 😂

Realbee85 · 21/05/2019 17:06

The OP didn't ask for opinions on the name but on the combo of names. Personally it depends on the surname?

Think deacon lube would really set him apart from the crowd 😁

Deacon is an occupation name/surname, so in the same style as Mason, Cooper, Archer, Taylor, Carter, etc. which are fairly well-used.

I think Alexander or Joseph would work best as middle names.

I immediately thought of Deacon Claybourne from 'Nashville!'

finallychangedmyusername · 21/05/2019 22:28

I really like Deacon Alexander

Proseccofuelled · 21/05/2019 23:08

Dying at Deacon Lube - love that someone uses that word often enough for the phone to autocorrect Grin

Proseccofuelled · 21/05/2019 23:12

Sorry OP
I’d rule out the overtly religious names & go for Deacon Alexander or Deacon Elliot

DramaAlpaca · 22/05/2019 00:41

I'm struggling to get past a deacon being a religious official. Sorry.

diddlediddle · 22/05/2019 01:51

Deacon is a good middle name maybe? Just switch it about. Alexander Deacon is nice

Kathryn3C · 28/05/2019 07:30

Thanks, as much as I like the name Deacon the comments about religious title have put me off a bit so might go with my second choice now which was Aidan. Thinking Aidan Jude or Aidan Alexander. Still got couple weeks to decide.
