I’m looking for a somewhat crazy, stand-out, and fun middle name for the first name [name_u]Gus[/name_u]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_u]Gus[/name_u], because I don’t care for any of the long forms. I’m probably looking for the names many would dismiss as guilty pleasure names or too outrageous.
[name_u]Gus[/name_u] is the candidate for our back-up boys name, but it needs a lot more zest to keep up with the names we have picked for potential siblings. Our last name has two syllables, starts with sh, and ends with an ee sound. I strongly prefer word names and character names. I really want there to be an image or idea associated with the name. Unfortunately, place names are out, my husband vetoes every one.
Some girls names with the flavor I’m looking for:
[name_f]Godiva[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
Nightingale
Mirth
Lothlorien
Boys names that caught my interest:
Gandalf
[name_m]Tarzan[/name_m]
Thunder
[name_m]Octavius[/name_m]
Bayberry
[name_m]Bard[/name_m]
Oooh I like [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m], Batholomew, and Godric. Godric is especially nice, but my husband and I are die-hard Hufflepuffs…difficult choices.
