that's pretty much how DS got his middle name. we had settled on his first name(ish) but couldn't work out a middle name, but wanted to give him one. after he was born (moment of panic as we realised we would actually HAVE to get ourselves into gear & make a decision), DP went home that night & went through a book of names. similar criteria to bath's - one syllable, a bit uncommon, easy to pronounce etc.

actually - i think we ended up with a middle name that is the same as bath's DS

now i really like it.
