After months of having no real direction as far as [name_m]Grant[/name_m] goes, I think I finally have a top 5 (maybe?). I think they’re roughly organized by favorite to least favorite, but things could easily change with some [name_u]Berry[/name_u] feedback.
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] Frédéric
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] (only in the last spot because I have [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] elsewhere on my list)
I was leaning toward [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] as the second middle, but I don’t like [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] with some of these (particularly Frédéric and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]), so I’m considering other second middles, too, but the second middle name spot is reserved for a family name, either way. I still really love the [name_m]Grant[/name_m] _____ [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], so if you don’t like any of these, I’m certainly open to ideas.
Thoughts on these? Once I settle on a first middle, I’ll decide for sure whether or not I’m keeping [name_m]Conrad[/name_m]…
[name_f]My[/name_f] top 3, in order, are; [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Frederic[/name_m], and [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m].
Anyone else? And also, how would you say Frédéric? I prefer the sound of the more classic [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] here, and I like the idea that he could be [name_m]Grant[/name_m] Or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]/[name_u]Freddie[/name_u] in English-speaking countries, and Frédéric in [name_f]France[/name_f], but I feel like I’d be dishonoring the [name_m]French[/name_m] by picking the [name_m]French[/name_m] spelling but ignoring the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation. [name_m]French[/name_m] speakers, how do you feel about the combo [name_m]Grant[/name_m] Frédéric?
I would say Frédéric nearly like [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] but a bit softer.
[name_f]My[/name_f] top 3 in the order: [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m], [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
