Boy's name to go with DS1 Vincent - how about Travis?

[JennieClare]

Hi, I've just found out I'm expecting another boy and don't really want to go for one that was on my shortlist before as it feels like they are second best - this rules out Ben, Logan, Joe, Harrison, Lucas, Isaac and Dylan. DH suggested Travis, which I really like but don't know if its a bit "trendy" - any thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated!

Not for me personally but if you like it go for it.

it's the old 'surname as first name' thing - which, personally, i don't like.

Not a name I'd go for. A bit Yankified and - dare I say it - a bit chav.

Travis is not good IMO

Jules is the obvious choice I reckon

Doesn't do it for me. Hope your surname isn't Perkins ...

How about Guy? Goes well with Vincent.

Bluechampagne - we started to call the baby Travis Perkins as a joke before we found out the sex but it has now sort of stuck - we'd obviously have to make an effort to drop the Perkins bit after the birth but I want to make a decision now before we can't imagine changing the name (BTW DS1 is only 12 months old so it hardly seems like 2 minutes since we went through all this and I have very little enthusiasm for picking a name this time!)

Are they going to be Country singers?

I know a lovely Irish Vincent and so always think of it as an Irish name. It's obviously Italian too so could you think of an Irish/Italian name?

I'm afraid I'm not very keen on Travis - bit too trendy for me - but can't suggest any helpful alternatives.

Tee hee - well, someone had to say it
How about Justin? Do you do 2nd names?

Richie or Donald or Bruce

Justin is q. nice too, and goes fairly well with Vincent. I find it a bit mainstream next to Vincent. Donald or Bruce are BOLD but also on their way back into fashion. They will be like the Esmes, Ediths and Dulcies are to girls' names - in a few years.

Dominic and Marcus sound like two names that have an Irish/Italian flavour.

Julius/Leo/Gregory/Dominic/Louis all give me an Irish/Italian vibe. Classic catholic names not the boring old saints names like St Anthony iyswim.

The last list is a list of popes' names by the way.

I like Travis. Goes well with Vincent too imo

But how will you stop yourself from singing "why does it always rain on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, is it because I lied when I was seventeeeeeeen?"

I like it.

Thumbs down for Travis.

Vincent goes with ... erm ... ??

Can't think.

I like it though!

Gregor?

I think Travis goes well with Vincent, and I like the suggestions of Marcus and Gregory too

Hugo goes well with vincent

isn't Travis a tractor off Bob the Builder?

I really hate Travis, sorry, all I can think is 'Perkins'...

I know a Vincent whose little brother is Lloyd. I would think towards other old-fashioned formal names, like Edgar, Raymond, Anthony -- Hugo is good, too.

Leon, Leo or Michael could work assuming they match the surname.

Love Vincent

But Travis - immediately think of Travis Bickle [Taxi Driver]

which is Not Good At All

I don't know who Travis Perkins is but I immediately thought of that awful "Why does it always rain on me" song. I don't like it as a name, at all, sorry.

Vincent is a good, solid name and needs a good, solid name to accompany it imho - Barnaby / Gabriel / Benjamin / Benedict / Jacob / Samuel sort of names.

Do the names have to 'go together'? I don't get that.
They will spend most of their lives independent from one another.

Don't like Travis at all though. Nope definitely not.
