Ok here’s the dilemma… Hubby feels very passionately about using “[name]Bertram[/name]” as a middle name. It was his grandfathers name who was apparantly an outstanding father, member of the community, was an engineer (and why hubby decided to become an engineer)and the local university has a scholarship in his honour every year so on and so forth.
I do not like the name. I am willing to live with it as a middle name, because of Hubby’s passion.
The problem is that I can not find something that I actually like, that flows well/sounds nice.
So it has to be _________ [name]Bertram[/name] Boutilier. It’s super hard!!
I prefer old man-ish names, especially with a celtic background but doesn’t have to be celtic.
I really really dislike anything mega common (james, michael, david, joseph )
I really dislike anything mega trendy or that sounds made up eg “jace”
No car names…
Prefer the name to be obviously masculine, strong, and not common but not weird…
some examples of names I like:
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Angus[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Logan[/name]
…but I dont think they sound right with [name]Bertram[/name] as a middle name… do you?
The first name that came to my mind was [name]Oliver[/name]. I also like [name]Arthur[/name] as someone above mentioned. Out of your list I like [name]Liam[/name] best with [name]Bertram[/name].
My opinion is that [name]Duncan[/name], [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Logan[/name] are too rhymey with [name]Bertram[/name] but I love [name]Angus[/name] [name]Bertram[/name]. Does it really matter so much, though, how the two names sound together? For my own children, when I was honouring someone with their middle name, flow didn’t matter as much as honouring that special person, unless it was absolutely terrible. Which none of yours are. [name]Arthur[/name] is good, too. I really like the name [name]Bertram[/name].
[name]Angus[/name] [name]Bertram[/name] Boutilier isn’t bad either
