Old boys names - can I do these?

[Pip82]

What about Leon?

[LionsandBears]

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.

[Amity]

Or Jethro.

I love Jethro.

[KitFaerie]

Oooh Jethro!

(I'm another who's stealing Rafferty though)

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.

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

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?

[luna moth]

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?

[LionsandBears]

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

[LionsandBears]

Just thought of another one : Clyde

Bbl

[*Ash*]

I love August too. But we can't have another A name - we already have 2 A's in our family. I agree, there are lots of awesome A names- for boys and girls.

Tashy, I always thought Gilbert from the movie version of Anne of Green Gables was kinda cute

Audax, I think your maiden name would be an awesome middle name.

[luna moth]

Yes, filing is laaaame. Baby names are coooool.

I am truly going stir-crazy.

While we're on Gilbert, I love Sullivan. I can't use it (surname rule) but somebody else can...

[Aimz]

I looooooooove Amos. Someone else please use it.

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

[Pandora]

I love Arlo too. It was the other shortlisted name for DS1 along with the name we eventually chose (m i l o) and we were still undecided for a little while after he was born.

[Tinks]

I really love Austin. Julian is pretty cool too.

[meow]

How about Timothy?? I LOVE it. I have a cousin with that name and I always think of it as being sort of popular but actually he's the only Tim I know

[peanutter]

I wouldn't go Theodore, because (a) too similar to Eleanor; and (b) Eleanor and Theodore are the two youngest chipmunks. Don't go there.

Cliff is ok, Alfie just makes me think of the Jude Law remake of the movie.

Archie and Archer I've seen a lot around lately ... not sure ...

I like Leonard, but also think it's too close to Eleanor.

What about Algernon? I mean really, what can do wrong there?

For other older names, I quite like Harrold, Maxwell, Edmond, Oliver and Terrance.

[nothing2lose]

My grandad was Percy. We also have Turley as a family name.

Perry is another one. Bartholemew another.

My great uncle was Hew Struan...
