[name]Henry[/name] gets my vote

[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Henry[/name]! They fit in so well. I think [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Percival[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] might be nice…

Good luck!

[name]Alexander[/name] was my choice. Maybe [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Percival[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name], that way they could both have P mns without it being to match-y.

5

[name]Edward[/name] gets my vote.

6

[name]Eric[/name] or [name]Edward[/name]!

First thing that popped into my head was the kid’s show, “[name]Thomas[/name] the Tank Engine”, because he has train friends named [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Percy[/name] ([name]Percival[/name]) (as well as [name]Edward[/name] and [name]James[/name] too, I think!!). Not that I think that this is a problem! That’s just what came to mind when I saw the [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] combination. You can tell I spend too much time with train-obsessed little boys!!

I [name]DO[/name] love [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] together though. Such wonderful, strong classics. The rest of your list is fabulous too. My favourite combinations are [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] as I’ve said, and [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name].

Also, you have a beautifully named family. Best of luck to you!!

I voted for [name]Edward[/name], but [name]Henry[/name] would also work. I thought either [name]Edward[/name] [name]Tristan[/name] or [name]Henry[/name] [name]Tristan[/name] would work well within the middle name theme. :slight_smile:

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Fran[/name], congrats on the twins! Since you already have a [name]William[/name], I wouldn’t use [name]Henry[/name] (Princes [name]William[/name] and [name]Harry[/name] born [name]Henry[/name]). I don’t think [name]Henry[/name] [name]Reeves[/name] flows very well either with the r’s and the “ee” sounds. [name]Eric[/name] and [name]Douglas[/name] just don’t have the classic, traditional vibe for me. So that leaves [name]Edward[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name]. A tough call but I’ll rank them as follows:

1 [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name]
2 [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Edward[/name]
3 [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name]
3 [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]James[/name]

Thankyou everyone! [name]Don[/name]'t really like [name]Peregrine[/name] or [name]Tristan[/name] but thanks for the ideas! I think I’m leaning more towards [name]Edward[/name], [name]James[/name] or [name]Alexander[/name] now.

mischa: you have just pointed out the reason we haven’t just gone with [name]Henry[/name]… I love that name (a lot!) but repeated ree-ree sounds? [name]Just[/name] doesn’t feel right. We have considered putting [name]Henry[/name] in the middle but do you think he would feel left out?

I like the idea of [name]Merlin[/name] as a middle name and like the idea of [name]Lancelot[/name] but something just not quite right about it. According to a website Dagonet was arthur’s fool!! So may give that one a miss! I like that Lamorak was [name]Percival[/name]'s brother… but not sure about the name itself. Came across Aglarale on my internet name browsing travels it also means “brother of [name]Percival[/name]” which I quite like but is it too weird? [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Percival[/name] and [name]James[/name]/[name]Edward[/name] Aglarale?

Another name I’ve found that I quite like is Pellinore - what do you think?

11

[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Percival[/name] and [name]Edward[/name] [name]Merlin[/name] would be awesome. [name]Just[/name] saying.

I think you can get away with Aglarale and Pellinore in the middle spot. My only concern would be that both names are relatively unheard of, whereas [name]Morgana[/name], [name]Isolde[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], and [name]Percival[/name] are familiar choices.

I like [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] the most:)

13

I love either [name]Henry[/name], [name]Edward[/name] or [name]James[/name] with [name]Thomas[/name]. [name]Love[/name] the idea of [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Percival[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] Pellinor!

Other middle name ideas:

Gwaine (gawain) or Galahad
