[name]How[/name] often do you see the three initials written out? I don’t think it matters what the initials are—I mean, I may hesitate to use initials that spell a curse word or something…but the only time I can think of initials being used are on forms he/she is signing later in life (usually just the first and last initials) and on monogrammed things—however, I see the middle name initial in the center more often–such as rWa…
In fewer words…I don’t think it’s a big deal!

My brother’s initials are BAM. RAW isn’t bad, per se - it’s just unusual because it actually spells a word! At least it isn’t a curse word or something inappropriate…
I also agree that [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Archer[/name] [name]Wood[/name] sounds better than [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Wood[/name] - those R’s! - and [name]Archer[/name] [name]Wood[/name] just seems weird to me, like there’s something wrong with it that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe it’s because I envision an archer roaming through the woods to go shoot something. Sorry, that’s not a great image, is it? Other ideas:
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Brady[/name] [name]Wood[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Wood[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Garrett[/name] [name]Wood[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Grady[/name] [name]Wood[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Marmaduke[/name] [name]Wood[/name] - [name]Duke[/name]! Ha, I’m (sort of) kidding about this one…
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Rafferty[/name] [name]Wood[/name] - I love this, honestly. [name]Rafferty[/name] makes me happy!

I think [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Archer[/name] [name]Wood[/name] is great! I’m glad you are loving [name]Ronan[/name] as a first name, it’s so cool! I’m sorry, but I am coming up completely blank trying to think of other middle names! Why not [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Alec[/name] [name]Wood[/name]?
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Tara[/name] I have been wondering if you had had baby [name]Alec[/name] yet but I didn’t expect the news that you were going to choose another name.
I am a little in shock.
I will try to help out.
Well the nearest to [name]Alec[/name] is [name]Alister[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name] but I think you said you don’t like [name]Alexander[/name] but do you like [name]Alister[/name]?
Another name that you may like is [name]Archer[/name], [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Wood[/name]. I think [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] work really well together.
Other names that I like are:
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Hugh[/name]
[name]Euan[/name]/[name]Ewan[/name]
[name]Denzil[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
All the best
rollo
[name]Tara[/name] I just read the previous posts and I remember that [name]Ronan[/name] was discussed as a first name at one time and I love [name]Ronan[/name]. It is a fantastic name.
I hope that you love [name]Archer[/name] (I noticed that you favour this name after I read the previous posts) as much as you did [name]Alec[/name].
When is baby due?
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Rollo[/name]!
Good to hear from you! I’m still a little in shock that we’re not using [name]Alec[/name],too. I just can’t shake the teasing potential.
I do like [name]Archer[/name] with [name]Ronan[/name] but I think we would go with [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Archer[/name] [name]Wood[/name]. The other combo in the running right now is [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Brady[/name]. I 'm not in love with [name]Brady[/name] but my Dad suggested it and my hubby kinda likes it too. My Dad has had a rough go of it lately and I think he would be delighted if we used his suggestion. I’m just not positive yet.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Alistair[/name] and [name]Miles[/name] but hubby said the sound “weak” 
He really likes [name]Ethan[/name] (after a favorite cousin) but I don’t care for the sound of it with [name]Ronan[/name].
[name]Andrew[/name] is an ex-boyfriend ;(
We are scheduled for c-section on Sept.8. It’s rapidly approaching and the thought of the kid being here without a name causes me great anxiety. I don’t want to rush it but I definitely want to decide on a name w/i the next 2 weeks.
[name]Hope[/name] you have been well! Thanks so much for yur help!
[name]Tara[/name]
Hello again [name]Tara[/name]
What a shame your husband doesn’t like [name]Miles[/name], this is my son’s name and it has proven to be a great name.
It would be nice to please your father and [name]Brady[/name] is a popular name at the moment and the flow of [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Brady[/name] [name]Wood[/name] is very nice.
However, I am sure you will settle on your favourite name before he arrives. Wishing you blessings and peace with the name you choose.
PS I really like [name]Harry[/name] would [name]Harry[/name] [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Wood[/name] appeal to you?
I have loved the name [name]Miles[/name] for years. I’ve mentioned it with every single pregnancy and he shoots it down. I think it’s classic and cool and just so handsome. He tends to like really over the top names (like [name]Thor[/name]!) so it doesn’t surprise me.
I don’t know how I feel about [name]Harry[/name] but I’m confidant DH wouldn’t go for it. I’ve mentioned [name]Henry[/name] and he just rolled his eyes. Men should just leave the naming to the ones who grow the humans, I think.
I’ll keep you posted on the search. Please send any other suggestions or ideas my way.
Best to you [name]Rollo[/name]!
[name]Tara[/name]
I like [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Brady[/name] [name]Wood[/name]…it appeals to me, especially with your dad and husband liking it.
Yep, mostly positive!
Thanks for the link, phoebesmom!
Best-

[name]Tara[/name],
I like [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Brady[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Grady[/name], a similar name. [name]Both[/name] are lively and energetic, yet still very masculine. It would be nice to honor your dad through his suggestion, and both are great names. Good luck deciding!
[name]Lemon[/name]
PS [name]Brady[/name] means “one with broad eyes” and [name]Grady[/name] means “noble and industrious,” for your reference.
Here’s another one for you! I swear, I’m not seeking them out, I keep happening upon them!

I’ll definitely check it out! My Mom is slightly troubled by the name. She’s just never heard it before so maybe this will help me convince her
