Some Middle Names, Please

Writers' Corner

The first names are pretty set, but I would like some suggestions on middles.

Jennerjohn is the last name.

Daughter: [name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_m]Son[/name_m]: [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
Daughter: [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Son[/name_m]: [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] (maybe [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] for dad’s name born on Feb. 28th)
[name_m]Son[/name_m]: [name_m]Russell[/name_m] (maybe [name_m]Valentino[/name_m], also born on Feb. 28th)
Daughter: [name_u]Kay[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (I like this combination)

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

Instead of [name_m]Russell[/name_m] for [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]'s twin what about [name_u]Rex[/name_u]? Or is it too close to [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] for it to be his twin’s name?

[name_u]Rex[/name_u] [name_m]Valentino[/name_m] or [name_u]Rex[/name_u] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]

4

I do still really like [name_m]Russell[/name_m] just trying to find a different nickname besides [name_m]Russ[/name_m]. Maybe [name_m]Rush[/name_m]?

5

I think for the twins, [name_m]Russel[/name_m] [name_m]Valentino[/name_m] and [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]. For [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f], how about [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]? For [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], how about [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]?

I do like your suggestions.

I was also debating on using [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Winston[/name_m] for the twins’ middle names.

Does [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] sound good?

As for [name_f]Viola[/name_f]: I was thinking of [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
For [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]: [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] or [name_u]Wallace[/name_u]
For [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]: [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
(maybe change [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] to something else?)

7

I like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and maybe you could do [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]. For [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], I think [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m] would be good, and I like [name_f]Viola[/name_f] “[name_f]Vi[/name_f]” [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

I really like the suggestion of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]. Thanks!

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] are still my favorite but now I’m leaning towards [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] instead. Any advice?

9

Sure thing and you could do [name_m]Winston[/name_m] “Wince” [name_m]Russell[/name_m] if you want. If not, you could just name him that and call him [name_m]Winston[/name_m], if that works better.

10

I also like the nickname “[name_u]Win[/name_u]” for [name_m]Winston[/name_m].

What I had hoped to find was a name with an x in it that didn’t end with the same endings as his siblings or have the same first letter.

That proved difficult because the only one I can think of is [name_u]Lennox[/name_u].

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] is good though. He has a daughter named [name_f]Lux[/name_f] [name_f]Donatella[/name_f].

11

[name_f]Donatella[/name_f] sounds like [name_m]Donatello[/name_m] who is a character from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, @kaitlin.And you can do [name_u]Win[/name_u] for the nn if you like [name_m]Winston[/name_m] “[name_u]Win[/name_u]” [name_m]Russell[/name_m].

12

[name_f]Donatella[/name_f] isn’t set in stone.

Still searching for names with an x in it.

Wanted to use [name_f]Lux[/name_f] for him but obviously it’s a girl name.

13

Additionally, is the name [name_m]Fox[/name_m] too out there for this sibset?

It would be [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] twin of [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u].

[name_f]Lux[/name_f] is just a name I like from afar. Her true name would most likely be [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] in honor of a grandparent.

14

I think it might be a good name for a character, though when people hear the name [name_m]Fox[/name_m], they might either think of the [name_m]Fox[/name_m] network or [name_m]Fox[/name_m] Mulder from The X-Files.

15

I guess I like too many names. Trying to find one I think fits it hard because I have so many specfics.

[name_m]Grantham[/name_m] was another but it’s too out there with names like [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], and [name_u]Kay[/name_u].

[name_m]Fox[/name_m] would only work with [name_u]Dexter[/name_u].

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] works with all of them - just not totally in love with it. It’s probably because I know a [name_m]Russell[/name_m] in real life. None of the other characters have names of people I know.

16

You could maybe do [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] if that works, and maybe call him [name_m]Fox[/name_m], if that works.

17

I like [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]. But here’s two other options. I know a lot of different names. Sorry.

[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] or Boone Russell/Winston. Are they too different from the siblings and twin names?

18

You could do [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] and nn him [name_m]Fox[/name_m] if you want to do that, or just [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] if that works better.

19

One final opinion.

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] or [name_m]Kennedy[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] or
[name_m]Ren[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] or
[name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m]

All with the twin of [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. With siblings named [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], *(if Theodore is used it would be changed to a name ending with a different letter)], and [name_u]Kay[/name_u] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. *(if Kennedy is used then same as Adeline)

20

You could probably do [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] if that would work for you, or just [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ken[/name_m] or [name_m]Kenny[/name_m].
