I need suggestions - Mystical middle names for Alfred

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

(Not expecting, just planning ahead)

[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] has always been one of those names I keep going back to. These days I’m liking it more than ever, but finding middle names that compliment him is a very difficult task. Some weeks ago, I found [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m] and thought it was a perfect. [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m]. SO loves [name_m]Roman[/name_m] mythology, and we both like the woodsy theme and uniqueness of it. However, I was soon told by my (equally name-loving) sister that ‘he would get so bullied’ due to the -anus ending. I hadn’t even realized that it could be a problem, but now I can’t unsee it.

So, do you have any suggestions for middle names? Preferably a bit unique and mysterious to ‘spice up’ the more serious [name_m]Alfred[/name_m]. We both like mythological names and are of Scandinavian/Hispanic ancestry, but the names can be of any origin.

Thanks in advance!

@minxtruck: [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_u]Loki[/name_u] is great. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], too!

I don’t think it would really come up, since middle names aren’t as well known as first.

Maybe Silvenus with an “e”?

11

I don’t think [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m] would cause that much teasing, it’s a middle name so most kids wouldn’t even know it, and it’s not like it’s pronounced silv-anus. They’d have to see it written down to pick up on that.

If you’re concerned though, maybe [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m]/[name_m]Silvester[/name_m] instead? Still has the whimsical forest connection.

Thanks @sorceress! I really like [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]/[name_m]Lucius[/name_m] and [name_m]Percival[/name_m] :slight_smile:

To echo another poster, I wouldn’t worry about [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m], honestly. Most of the time kids won’t know another kid’s middle name anyway. If you love it, use it!

19

@labelo: thanks for the feedback! I really love [name_m]Silvanus[/name_m], but kids can be so mean these days. I’ll keep it on my list for now and I guess time will tell if I use it one day :slight_smile:
