Hi berries!
I’ve been thinking about [name_m]Watson[/name_m] quite a bit lately—I’m very fond of him for the tie to [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m], and I’m contemplating one of my favorite nns—Whit!—with him too, since most actual [name_m]Whit[/name_m] names aren’t doing much for me lately. [name_m]The[/name_m] combo I’d been sitting on—Watson Alphaeus—isn’t doing a ton for me lately either, so I’m on the hunt for a middle for [name_m]Watson[/name_m]. I’m hoping to avoid something too traditional (like [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] or Michael), but otherwise I’m open to suggestions. Y’all know I love quirky and eclectic, so pretty much anything goes. I can’t wait to hear what ideas you have!
Thanks berries!
As a mom to a [name_m]Watson[/name_m], I absolutely ADORE the name!! My son’s middle is [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but originally I wanted him to be [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_f]Berdie[/name_f] (after a great-grandfather). We call him [name_m]Sonny[/name_m], but [name_m]Whit[/name_m] is a wonderful nickname too!

Thank you, everyone!
@Grandidieramy - I’ve always loved your sons’ names! [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is wonderful. Nathaniel’s a family name for me, so it’s so tempting, but I have other first names on my list I think I like [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] with a little more (Caspar and Finley!).
@namer_gamer - thank you! I like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Mars[/name_m] in theory—Watson [name_m]Mars[/name_m] is super cool!
@persephonescrown - oh [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Digory[/name_m] is so fun! Too literary for one combo? [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] and [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] are so near to my heart! My best friend loved [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Robin[/name_m] and that always seemed too literary to me for some reason, so I’m not sure why [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Digory[/name_m] feels fine lol. But I like him a lot! [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Wildoak[/name_m] is fascinating too!
@UnderTheRainbow - thank you! [name_m]Alphaeus[/name_m] was more for my nephew than anything (he goes by Alf!e), but I also love an unusual Bible name! I could maybe keep honoring him through the second half of his name, something like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]? [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Nicodemus[/name_m], [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Jericho[/name_m], [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], and [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Oleander[/name_m] are really lovely, thank you!
@katinka - thank you! I really like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Kitto[/name_m]! Usually not a [name_m]Louis[/name_m] lover, but there’s something about him with [name_m]Watson[/name_m]!
@kachenka - thanks, lady! I really like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] and [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Amias[/name_m]!
I do like a lot of these—not sure I love them, but really like them!—and I’m enjoying how he’s starting to feel more quirky and literary. I’m definitely open to more ideas as I sit on these! Thanks again berries!

Alf¡e is the cutest nickname! And what about using Alf¡e itself as a second middle name, for example [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Oleander[/name_m] Alf¡e or [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] Alf¡e? [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is really lovely and pleasant too. Perhaps [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Alf¡e might be a bit too much of an honour name, but it does sound nice.

Haha [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Alf!3 is a lot of honoring. Ironically his big brother is Ol!v3r so [name_m]Watson[/name_m] [name_m]Oleander[/name_m] Alf!e could honor them both?
