What do you think of these combinations? Middle names are family names and non-negotiable! [name]Just[/name] trying to find a first name we love which works with them.
Most of way too traditional for my liking but they’re solid boys names!
My absolute favourite is [name]Sidney[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley, it’s just perfect.
[name]Warren[/name] and [name]Phillip[/name] remind me of middle aged men, sorry.
I just don’t like [name]Timothy[/name], [name]Thomas[/name] or [name]Charles[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] drives me crazy, it’s so popular!
I think [name]William[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley and [name]James[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley sounds nice enough but they’re just too normal for me as FN’s and I prefer names like [name]William[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Charles[/name] as middle names.
I have an issue with the name [name]David[/name] - I know it’s a common, classic name and if they are known as [name]David[/name] then fine but throughout life they are likely to be known as ‘[name]Dave[/name]’ which I just think is awful and sounds so middle aged. [name]Dave[/name] and his friends [name]Steve[/name], [name]Mike[/name], [name]Gary[/name], [name]Andy[/name] etc. They sound very dated these days, names like [name]Steven[/name], [name]Michael[/name], [name]Andrew[/name] but I guess that’s because I really don’t meet any children with these names anymore. I think the nickname [name]Davy[/name] is pretty cute though but I think [name]Dave[/name] would be hard to avoid.
I think the name [name]Sidney[/name] will stick out the most in a list. And while I may not agree with the double “-ey” ending combination of the first and last name… at least having [name]Fairchild[/name] balances it out.
Best first name out of the many in your list - for it’s uniqueness. Plus you have great name-holders like actor, [name]Sidney[/name] Poitier and a literary character like [name]Sidney[/name] Carton of “A Tale of Two Cities” to support its greatness.
[name]Sidney[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley!
I like [name]William[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] the best. I also like [name]Charles[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] if he went by [name]Charlie[/name].
Have you considered [name]Daniel[/name]? I think [name]Daniel[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley would be adorable, and I think it fits really well with your list. I think something along the lines of [name]Simon[/name]/[name]Silas[/name], [name]Elias[/name], or [name]Cyrus[/name] might appeal to you as well…
Thankyou! I do like [name]Daniel[/name]! Find it amusing that you suggested [name]Simon[/name] - that’s my fiance’s name! So glad so many of you like [name]Sidney[/name]. It’s one I particularly like as is [name]Phillip[/name] but [name]Philippa[/name] is one of our favourites for a girl so I’m not sure. I wasn’t really a classic name lover but they do sound good with the surname and the hundreds of years long traditions among fiance’s family for middle names being both grandfathers: [name]Indigo[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] just sounds weird!
[name]Sidney[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - love this!
[name]Warren[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - this is nice too but only pn woh-ren
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - not sure [name]Charlie[/name] is cute but [name]Charles[/name] has always struck me as pretentious
[name]David[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - don’t think [name]David[/name] fits well here
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - love this!
[name]Phillip[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - handsome and a bit different. would love to meet a little [name]Phillip[/name]
[name]James[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - [name]James[/name] is nice but there are so many
[name]William[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - see [name]James[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - like this
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - not convinced
Like the suggestion of [name]Daniel[/name]. Also [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Lucas[/name] would be nice fits imo. You’re right that [name]Indigo[/name] does sound a little strange but it’s not that bad if you really loved the name.
[name]Sidney[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - I have never liked [name]Sidney[/name] as a name, no matter which gender it’s for.
[name]Warren[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - Ehh, I am neutral on [name]Warren[/name].
[name]Charles[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - [name]Love[/name]! [name]Charles[/name] is so handsome and I love the nn [name]Charlie[/name].
[name]David[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - Good classic name.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - I like [name]Thomas[/name] but I don’t get super excited about it.
[name]Phillip[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - [name]LOVE[/name]! [name]Phillip[/name] is an under-used classic. But if you love [name]Philippa[/name] for a girl I’d use that instead.
[name]James[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - Excellent name. [name]James[/name] is common, yes, but it’s common for a reason!
[name]William[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - [name]William[/name] is a family name and one of my favorites, so of course I love it.
[name]Timothy[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - I feel only a little warmer to [name]Timothy[/name] than I do to [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley - [name]Oliver[/name] feels like a dog name to me because it is the name of my boss’s dog (I work at a groomers)
I like:
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley- Flows nicely, and I like the name [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Phillip[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley- Very kingly and regal. I would also use [name]Philippa[/name] instead if you like that.
[name]James[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley- [name]James[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] doesn’t go together all that well, but I like [name]James[/name] fine.
[name]William[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley- Ditto [name]Phillip[/name].
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Fairchild[/name]-Linley- [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] are a bit rhymey, but I love [name]Oliver[/name]!
[name]Sidney[/name] is my favorite! The only ones I don’t care for are [name]Warren[/name] (unpleasant meaning), [name]David[/name] (ubiquitous) and [name]Timothy[/name] (sounds wimpy). Really, though, they’re all quite solid names.
I think I prefer [name]James[/name] just because there are an awful lot of names there and something like [name]Timothy[/name] adds an extra couple of syllables.
[name]James[/name] is a classic name but doesn’t sound old fashioned and works for any age.
