Too much?? Follow-up from previous post!

I had previously posted about naming our son either [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] or [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] simply because we like the names. His middle name would likely be [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m]. [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] is my husband’s middle name and he is the last person to carry on his mother’s maiden name.

Here is my concern. A commenter brought something to my attention. Our last name is [name_m]Adams[/name_m]. If we chose [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m] as our son’s name is it [name_m]WAY[/name_m] too “presidential” or is it a good/strong name like we had intended?

I think if you love it, you should go for it but I agree–those happen to be 3 presidential names and once history rolls around in grade school, students may take notice and have some comments (but kids will do this regardless of what you name your child…even if he’s named [name_m]Mike[/name_m]). I think [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m] sounds wonderful and no one would get the presidential reference with just those two. No one really hears the middle name much anyway, so [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] is probably just fine. :slight_smile:

Well, it’s certainly a bit of a mouthful, but it’s a very handsome and respectable name. Could you maybe use the very similar name [name_m]Piers[/name_m] to avoid the triple president thing? If not, I don’t think you should worry too much - I only knew the middle names of one or two of my classmates who were my closest friends, so I don’t think most will really notice.

I think it’s fine. [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] isn’t really a president that people talk much about anyway and middle names are rarely used. I think [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m] is very strong and handsome.

Thank you, jtay07. Strong and handsome is what we want in a name so you hit the nail on the head with that description. You also make good points which helps so much!

I love it!! Honestly. I don’t think it is too “presidential” or formal. It’s fabulous!! Very strong and charming.

Thanks, mummacat92! Your comment is very kind. I will take strong and charming any day! This helps!!
