Initials H.R.G

[LudoBear]

It's become a thing in my family that the first born child is given the initials H.R.G (2 middle names). My great-grandad and Grandad have the same 3 names. My mum was given the same initials as was my brother. My brother can't have children so if I have children I'd like to continue to tradition and use the same initials. My mum goes by her first middle name "Ruth" and my brother goes by a shortening of his first middle "Richie"

If you were forced to name your child using those initials, but they can go by any of the names or shortening of any, what would you name your child? Boys and girls.

I too, think it's ridiculous. Trying to force it to fit. Sorry OP, but you don't have to do this!

I would go with;
Helena Rose Gabrielle or Holly Rowena Grace for a girl

and

for a boy I like
Harrison Roman Gray or Hudson Ramsey George

@MooseMoose

Hazel Rosalie Gwenllian

Huw / Heath / Harry Rowan Gruffydd

But honestly, I'd just name them what I wanted :)

Huw?! That's a sound, surely.

How about Holivia Rolivia Golivia?

But then would it be holiviyah roliviyah goliviyah or Holyviyah rolyviyah golyviyah?

Decisions

@babbaloushka

Well that’s rude! Huw is a perfectly valid welsh name

Hope Raphaela Gloria
Harris Raphael George

Horace Raymond Gaius
Hebe Roxanne Georgiana

Henry Robert George

I always loved Hepzibah for a girl but would never be brave enough to use it so for a girl
Harriet Rosemary Grace

@babbaloushka It's a pretty well known Welsh name - a variant of Hugo or Hugh. As in Hugh Edwards, the newsreader / journalist.

Hope Rosalind Grace

Harry Robert Guy

Huw Edwards seems to have fone OK with a sound for a name.

Agree with the PPs who say feel free to break the tradition, DHs family have a lot of dreadful middle name traditions but I refused to comply. That said in the OPs position I'd go Harald Robert George or Helga Robin Gudrun. But some of those are only there to make up the rules and I'd not want to give a child a meaningless name. We gave the DC a first name we loved then middle names that honoured people in the family.

Hamish Robert George
Heidi Romily Greer

Hugo Richard George (not that keen on Richard, but nice to use your brothers name). Or Rory.

Helena Rachel Grace (I like Lena pronounced Layna as a first name). Or Hannah.

Harriet or Hannah Robyn Grace

Henry Rupert George

Helena Rose Gabriella
Hayley Roseanna Gemma
Hanna Ruth Genevieve
Hedvig Rita Grange
Honor Rae Gloria
Harriet Rachel Grace
Holly Rhiannon Greta
Hiba Gisela Reanna
Heli Gloria Ray
Hepzibah Gwendolyn Reece

Henry Ryan George
Henri Remy George
Harris Robert Graham
Harrison Richard George
Hadyn Rhys Grey
Howie Rock Gethyn
Hannes Robin Gregory
Hallam Rory Gethin
Holden Rae Gene
Hero Ray Griffith
Henrik Roddy Göran

If you can find names you like, then it's a lovely tradition. No need for the baby had to live with it comments, everyone had suggested perfectly normal names. I'd go for
Hattie Ruth Gillian
Henry Robert George

I also like Rachel and Rita for girls but Hattie is a favourite so I'd be happy to use that as a first name.
