Starry Starry Night: Middles for Galileo

Since you titled this [name_f]Starry[/name_f], [name_f]Starry[/name_f] [name_m]Night[/name_m], [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] was my first thought—I think they click together. [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] is very pretty. Is Earendil taken from [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings and/or The Simarillion? I have Galadriel’s voice saying “the light of Earendil” in my head.

Other suggestions:

[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m]
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Altair[/name_m]
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Aries[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m]
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Earendil

I’M SORRY! D’oh! If it helps, every website I looked at had it pronounced al-tare and all the forvos had it pronounced al-tare AND the dictionary said al-tare so I think you’re safe :stuck_out_tongue: I prefer it as [name_m]Al[/name_m]-tare anyway.

Haha, that’s fine! I don’t think I’ll use it anyway, almost all my boys are set! I need a second middle for [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m], middles for [name_m]Remus[/name_m] and then I’m done! Yay!

Oh, and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], I forgot to reply to you. Earendil is indeed mentioned in [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings. The story is in The Silmarilion though, it’s beautiful!

You need middles else where too! Girl, how dare you hide that from me! You know how much I love making combos for you! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well when you want I’ll start making combos for them too. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you need some more [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] combos or are you good there?

Okay, I might need help with [name_u]Oberon[/name_u] and [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] too, but [name_m]Endymion[/name_m]'s done! [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] [name_m]Rainier[/name_m]. And Husband is set on [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m] [name_u]Loki[/name_u] something.

You have some really great suggestions here! I love your [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Earendil. I don’t know if I can be of much help (I’m not great with combos), but I’ll give it a quick shot.

[name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f]; I actually love [name_m]Hesperos[/name_m], but Hespera will be one of [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]'s middle names. Definitely want to use it if it’s a girl! [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Earendil Seebastian, [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Winterson Brage and [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m] [name_m]Altair[/name_m] are all beautiful! Thanks!

Jonothon; Thank you! Wow, look at all of these, too many good ones! I love [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Blizgulis, that’s just fantastic! [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Aquilon, [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Striborg, [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Brage Fannar, [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Zeke[/name_m] Winterson, [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_m]Hesperos[/name_m], [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Albus[/name_m] Earendil (!!!) and [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Damon[/name_m] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m] are also very fabulous. That was such a great list, thank you so much!

Averella; [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] is awesome, isn’t it? [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Earedil is precious! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it!

Saracita; Thanks! I think [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Altair[/name_m] is rather fanciful myself.

You’re welcome. Like I said, I’d have named my children like you are if [name_f]Anna[/name_f] would have let me. I have quite a lot of names like those on my list so if you want more or for those other names you mentioned, I could help there too.

I didn’t think about [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] next to Earendil (giggle), although the Ear- syllable in Earendil really isn’t quite pronounced like “ear.” I suppose [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Earendil or [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Earendil would be better. I also think [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Altair[/name_m] is very handsome, though I do love the idea of Earendil in the combo. Such a beautiful story, and for a starry name…it just couldn’t be better.

Terrible at combos, but just popped by to say I loooove [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] for you, especially with [name_m]Hector[/name_m]! Amazing!

Jonothon; well, I love your kids names! But you’d have done a GREAT job at naming babies with wilder names as well ;). Husband really loved a lot of your suggestions too.

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]; oh, no, the sounds are different, it was more the look I think. I’d spell it Eärendil anyways.

[name_u]Caro[/name_u]; yay, I love it with [name_m]Hector[/name_m] too!!

These are our favourites (random order):

[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Eärendil
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Bragi Winterson
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Winterson
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Lorengel
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Albus[/name_m] Eärendil
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Blizgulis

More suggestions?

I just realized I haven’t been around for a bit -> except yesterday maybe -> sorry I missed out on all your other boy combo making. I’m just a little burnt out with everything that is going on around here. But, lets see… (sorry for repeats)

[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Lorengel Vicent (yes, w/o the n).
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Hector[/name_m] Lohengrin
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] Earendil
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Earendil
[name_m]Galileo[/name_m] Calidore [name_m]Demetrius[/name_m]

(um… yeah, MSND is totally not my fav [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] play. <wink>)

Yeah, [name_u]Lex[/name_u], what’s up with that?? I need to pound on you a little… (if you’ve seen Friends you’ll hopefully get it ;))

Ooh, I’m kind of crazy loving Calidore [name_m]Demetrius[/name_m] up there. It’s swoonish! And [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Earendil is gorgeous. I want to like [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] Earendil, but [name_m]Victor[/name_m] - although such a fabulous name - just makes me think of Days of Our Lives. I know that’s tragic and pathetic, but it does.

Thanks sweetie!

I second (third? fourth?) [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Altair[/name_m].

Oooh combos and stars and imagery, squee! I’m so excited it’s sad, haha.
