Middles for Linus?

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! [name_m]Super[/name_m] loving [name_m]Linus[/name_m] today… he’s always been on my radar but never enough for me to commit to him. I just can’t stop saying him today, he makes me smile. I am contemplating adding him to my list.

Would love to see any combos you think would be nice? I’ve always liked [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] but never felt like he was truly usable because of LOST, but do love the idea of using a B middle if I can find one I like because my grandfather went by LB exclusively (this may or may not have been his full name, funny story).

I am wondering about [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] or [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Blaise[/name_m] but would love any other ideas you have. Not completely set on having to use LB for my grandpa, so if you don’t have a B middle you like for him, feel free to suggest something else. Also would love opinions on if [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is still too tied to LOST?

Thanks berries!

I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m]!

I haven’t seen LOST, so I can’t comment on the tie except to say it’s one I’m not aware of. [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is so adorable, should you go that route.

Otherwise, maybe …

I like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], I think Lost has definitely been moved past & pretty much forgotten about by now so it would be usable IMO.

I’ve not seen more than a season of LOST, and I can’t remember anything about [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. It’s a fantastic combination and I love it!

Other ideas:

[name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’ve never seen Lost so I wouldn’t have picked up on any reference in [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. Is it a series they show reruns of a lot where you are - or one that people go back and revisit often? If not, I think you’re good to use it. [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is great!

I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m]! I like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Blaise[/name_m] but I don’t love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] or [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benoit[/name_m]. I’ve never seen LOST so it doesn’t make me think of the show. I just don’t love the flow of it. I think it’s so sweet to use LB though to honor your grandpa. Works out so great!

Thanks everyone!

What a relief that the craze around LOST has died down… it had such a cult following when it came out and I could barely mention [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] in the past without it garnering a ton of “too close to [name_m]Ben[/name_m] Linus” comments! I’m sure it still has people who go back and watch it, but it’s been off the air for probably a decade now. [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] wasn’t the most wonderful character, but I think of Peanuts before LOST most days, anyway.

@ellerbea - thanks girl, [name_m]Berend[/name_m] feels like the kind of name I’d want to pair with [name_m]Linus[/name_m], but I don’t love the combo, weirdly? [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] is so cute and cuddly but I can’t really see myself using [name_m]Bear[/name_m]. [name_m]Linus[/name_m] to me doesn’t feel like it goes with just any styule of name, so I’ve found I’m rather picky about the middles I like with [name_m]Linus[/name_m].

@peachymum - thank you! What a relief lol. I’m sort of thinking I like [name_m]Benoit[/name_m] or [name_m]Blaise[/name_m] better with [name_m]Linus[/name_m] today anyway, but I’ll definitely keep [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] as an option for now! I love [name_m]Breccan[/name_m], [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], and Bjorn… I’m not sure [name_m]Linus[/name_m] and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m] feel like they go together, but I definitely like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m]! I’ll have to give them some thought.

@sorceress - thanks girl, I love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Desmond[/name_m]! I would love [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] if I didn’t already have [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] on my list.

@somemelodioussonnet - thank you! I’m not sure if [name_m]Ben[/name_m] [name_m]Linus[/name_m] was in the first couple of seasons? I feel like he didn’t show up until about season 3. He was a wily sort of character imo so I’m happy most aren’t making the association with him. I like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] from your suggestions!

@Greyblue - not sure if it’s replayed often here, I don’t watch cable television often anymore. It used to be on replay and you could hardly mention [name_m]Linus[/name_m] on here the last time I considered it without berries saying “oh you can’t use [name_m]Linus[/name_m] Benjamin”. I’m happy to see it’s run its course! I really like [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] from your list… [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] too! I am loving [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] and [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] as first names right now so I may save those for a first name. We’ll see, I didn’t expect to get so invested in revamping my list as I seem to be lol.

@AmyVermeersch - thank you! [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] is sweet! I have always liked [name_m]Brodie[/name_m]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m], and [name_m]Bridger[/name_m], but I’m still on the fence on if [name_m]Linus[/name_m] feels like it goes with a surnamy pick like [name_m]Booker[/name_m] or Bridger… I feel like it needs a very Nordic/German/pan-European sort of name to go with it? [name_m]Hence[/name_m] [name_m]Blaise[/name_m], [name_m]Bjorn[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Benoit[/name_m], etc.

Thanks berries!
