So these are my final two name combinations, whittled down from dozens...though when I say "whittled down", you'll notice I've opted for 4 MNs That's the one thing that won't be changing, so please don't bother trying to convince me otherwise. Also, I'm dead set on the names themselves, I just want to know which works best when put together.

  1. Atticus Louis Caleb Tobias Somerset

  2. Asa Stanley Arthur Leopold Somerset

P.S: On their names alone, what do you think these people would be like as children and then adults? Be honest!

Too many names. Like all of them except Stanley (Stanislas as someone suggested much better) and Leopold (Congo atrocities). Disadvantages of Stanley accentuated when placed with Arthur. So 1) if you're set on that many names.

  1. sounds better put together but Atticus is beter than Asa, so Atticus Stanley Arthur Leopold Somerset. Oh, and what violethill said, sorry.

I love the following names out of your choices:

Louis
Arthur

The others are fine, but personally wouldnt be my choice. I'm from a farming background and imagine my son would carry a name like Giles better than Atticus. Please dont let that bother you though. Out of the choices I like 1. best.

From the names I would assume your son to be well spoken boy who will be privately educated, followed by Oxford, and then a career as a banker, lawyer or politician.

Atticus Louis Caleb Tobias Somerset is my fav....

George Osborne was christened Gideon, but changed his name to George at 13.

I'd think carefully about any very unusual first names, such as Atticus. I like it, but may not be easy for your son to carry off the name.

Of your options, option 1. Though I can't think of a decent short form of Atticus. Atty?

Personally though I would hate to have so many names and would have really hated it as a child (especially, dare I say, as a boy).

Why not stick to two middle names and allow him to choose some extra ones if he wants when he is older?
