    Fletcher is a family member's dog's name

    I think Albert or Alfred with your surname would sound nice. That kind of alliteration works.
    You then need an interesting middle name, like Bradman. Does the no surname rule apply to middle names?
    Albert Bradman ASurname
    Alfred Darwin ASurname
    Albert Ernest Asurname
    Alfred Clive Asurname
    Leonard Lloyd Asurname

    I think Darwin Cicero is very cool. Obviously, he had expectations to live up to though.

    My sentence structure isnt improving.

    I heard a woman calling out 'death row, death row' in the park last week. I eventually realised that she was saying 'Jethro'. Oops.

    Some old family names of mine:
    Amos - you can't use Audax, fails two of the 'tests'.
    Gilbert
    Edwin
    Hunter- I can't do this one, I think you know why!
    Leo- My great-grandfather and grandfather's middle name. I love it, DH doesn't.
    James
    William
    Edward
    Herbert (Herb). Kind of cute, I think.
    Ernest
    Ray

    Like. A thousand times like. I could use my maiden name as a middle name. Darwin Cicero is cool. Very cool. And I love Leonard Lloyd. Or Leonard [local street name] Asurname, as per DD's name.

    The maiden name as middle name is very cool. Very old school. My maiden name is long and unpronounceable, so I cant do it.

    Would Augustus Caesar Asurname be too much? I've always loved Cesare, but that got vetoed
    I'm liking Lloyd today. I looked up popular names in the 1930s to get that one.
    Is Cadel an option?
    If you can't use Frank, is Francis possible? Then you just call him Frank.
    Abner?

    I looooooooove Amos. Someone else please use it. And Gilbert. Hmmmmm. I kind of like it, and given time, might work.

    Cadel is not an option. If I were naming baby after a cyclist, it would be Robbie McEwen My maiden name gets misspelt from time to time, but it's pretty useable. Think frontman of Midnight Oil turned politician...

    Augustus is way too much. Imagine if he had a lisp! I have always loved August though. So many gorgeous A names! Whyyyyyy?

    Imagine Ausgustus Caesar with a lisp.... Good call. Poor little blighter. It broke the ends in S rule anyway.

    I shall think away. This is helping me not do filing

    Maiden name as first name? Or too confusing?
    Gilbert reminds me of Anne of Green Gables

    I've always really liked Arlo/Arlow. Could work with your surname?
