What do we - the Mumsnet Collective - think of the name "Neo" as a middle name for a boy?

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

Thoughts please?

First name - Aiden..

We have Aidan with a 2-syllable T surname and it is nice.

But he has great old fashioned family middle names in there too.

Muggle No. When I posted pretending I was pregnant and wanting to name my baby after the entire character list of Torchwood (as in Ianto Tosh Captain-Jack etc) that was a joke! )

I may link this thread to my lovely friend just off her child-bed.. please be nice

It's fine . You can do that sort of stuff with a mn and your children won't hate you forever. And at least it isn't Nero.

Hey, how about Nemo?

sorry but I don't like it at all.

"Aidan Neo" will have everyone offering him a Vicks Inhaler every time he gives his name.

Friend is not braving the thread. She is feeding the baby and going to bed. I jave expressed the gist to her by text

Friend would like to know what you would all suggest?

What would you team with Aiden/Aidan - two syllable surname starting with T?

Please?

How about Neo-Con? it has a certain US style ring to it.

As I said, we have this.

Middle names are Paul (after dh Grandad)
Russell (after my Dad - not a opoular or trendy choice, but my Dad is delighted).

With 2 syllable first and last names you can have either a one or 2 syllable middle name I think.

I don't think I would like the -n N combination, but I am supposing the N middle name is important to them.

Not something that also ends in N - like Nathan. Just doesn't trip well off the tongue.

Hope she can decide what to do - I found naming pretty stressful myself

Any name, doesn't have to be begin with N now...

Aiden James
Aiden Matthew
Aiden Marius
Aiden Henrik
Aiden Michael
Aiden Edward

Aiden Niels
Aiden Nathan
Aiden Norman
Aiden Naod
Aiden Nataniel
Aiden Neil
Aiden Nettum
Aiden Nestor

etc

Nathaniel is nice as a middle name. Means Gift of God.

Neil/Niall. Means champion

If it doesn't have to be N, do they have any family or ethnic/regional names special to them, like Gaelic or Welsh?

I like Aidan James

Any mention of Neo and I think it's an abbreviation of Neoplasia, I'm afraid.
But maybe that's just me,...

My SIL used Neo as a middle name for her DS. His first name is worse and ends in an 'n'. Go for it if you like, but I wouldn't.

I like Neo (and Nero) but I don't like the -n N combination.

no. It just means new. Don't do it. Please.

Ghastly.

really, need you ask?

i know someone with a child called neo.

sorry but it's awful.

It's not me, it's my friend and I was asking on her behalf. No need to cause yourselves injury with headbanging and the like.

Thank you for opinions.
