We don’t find out the gender until Feb 5, but I am convinced it’s a boy haha!
We are struggling to agree. I am not a fan of using honour names intentionally, because as what I thought would happen, it’s limiting our choice. My husband is not backing down on using [name_m]Colin[/name_m] as a middle name as it was his grandfather’s name, and whilst I agreed to it, I’m now realising it doesn’t go with anything we love He thinks it doesn’t have to flow, but… ugh!
The only one I REALLY like (but maybe not love) is [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]. My husband likes [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], but I’m not sold on that name.
So, I need some help! What are some names that flow with [name_m]Colin[/name_m]? (I’ve tried suggesting [name_m]Cole[/name_m], as his grandfather was only really ever called Col, but nope). The only thing he’s kind of compromised on is that he doesn’t mind if it’s a double middle name with [name_m]Colin[/name_m] at the end, so that’s also an option I may be able to get around haha!
Possible hyphenated middles:
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m] ([name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m] sounds pretty nice to me! Also nice with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], etc.)
[name_u]James[/name_u]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m] (has a nice ring with [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], etc.)
[name_m]David[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Brice[/name_u] or [name_u]Bryce[/name_u]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Dale[/name_u]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Troy[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Bo[/name_u] or [name_u]Beau[/name_u]-[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]-[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]-[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]-[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]-[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]-[name_m]Ferris[/name_m]
If you can’t find any names you love with [name_m]Colin[/name_m], why don’t you use [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] instead? [name_m]Colin[/name_m] is a diminutive of [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m].
I also don’t mind [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Colin[/name_m], but if you don’t really love [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] and also think it does not flow well, you should definitely consider other names
I like [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Colin[/name_m]! You could use [name_u]Kit[/name_u] or [name_m]Cole[/name_m] as a nn.
There’s too much “K” sound for me in [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Colin[/name_m]. But it isn’t bad by any stretch, esp if you like [name_u]Beck[/name_u]/ Becks as a nn.
I’m sure if you searched for British (or British-Euro)/Gaelic/Irish names, at least a few would flow nicely to [name_m]Colin[/name_m]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] a Welsh name!
Middle names are rarely used once the birth announcements have been sent, except for completing formal documents, so all this talk of names needing to flow is over-exaggerated, I think! If you find the name you both love for his first name, and go with an honor name for the middle, it’s a win-win! [name_m]Say[/name_m] the name aloud, like you’re calling him to breakfast…without the middle name because, really, who does that? I happen to love [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Colin[/name_m], but the chances of you calling him by his entire name more than a handful of times is slim to none, so I say go for it and name him the name you love without worrying so about how it flows with his middle name! Best of luck!
He thinks it doesn’t have to flow, but… ugh!
