middles for Our Baby (Maybe) Boy

[ottilie]

We've got an awesome (in our opinion) top 5 for Baby, if it is a boy (or for any future baby boy for that matter). And now the hard work with middles start... We've got a few we love, but if you've got any fantastically amazing names in mind, please feel free to tell us OR make an amazing combo. We have some ideas for combos we quite like, but would love your input and ideas since you're all brilliant.

Our first names are: Endymion, Faramir, Gawain, Herne and Orpheus.

Middles:
Alaric (king of the visigoths)
Aldaron ("lord of the trees, great huntsman (Tolkien)
Artegal (the personification and champion of justice in TFQ)
Calidore (the kinight of courtesy in TFQ)
Cambell (a knight of friendship in TFQ)
Eldarion (Arwen and Aragron's son (Tolkien))
Elessar (another name for Aragorn (Tolkien))
Guyon (the knight of temperance in TFQ)
Haldir (an awesome elf (Tolkien))
Hector (Trojan prince in greek mythology)
Hylas (a beautiful young man "abducted" by nymphs in greek mythology)
Isidore ("gift of Isis")
Lohengrin/Lorengel (a knight in arthurian legend (german version))
Lórien (master of visions and dreams (Tolkien))
Marinell (the knight of the sea in TFQ, son of a water nymph which is amazing)
Okkervil (a river in Russia)
Orion (hunter in greek mythology)
Remiel (archangel)
Scudamour (character in TFQ, means "shield of love")
Serafim (seraph is a celestial being)
Snowdon (beautiful mountain in Wales)
Strider (another name for Aragorn (Tolkien))
Theron ("hunter" or "wild animal")
Triamond (a knight of friendship in TFQ)
Westernesse (another name for Númenor, realm in Middle Earth (Tolkien))

For now, I'll try with what you've got here. Many gorgeous names, but I do miss some of the more direct word/nature names, and I think the list could use some monosyllabics for rhythmic variety.

Endymion Westernesse Lórien
Endymion Hylas Isidore
Herne Scudamour Campbell
Herne Okkervil Snowdon
Faramir Hylas Guyon
Faramir Strider Lórien
Gawain Orion Lorengel
Gawain Hector Alderon
Orpheus Remil Westernesse
Orpheus Marinell Theron

Thank you!!

emma: I don't have any one syllable names (except for Herne, obviously). Same with nature names... maybe Wilde but we sort of did it for the girls. Also, surname is one syllable. any suggestions maybe, clever girl?

hayley: Love Orpheus Lorien! We're sort of talking about maybe just doing one middle, but I love so many names I'm not sure I can let the opportunity slip away...

Herne Scudamour Cambell, Herne Eldarion Marinell, Faramir Hylas Theron and Gawain Hector Alderon are amazing. I've got a huge Herne crush today!

[hayleyinwonderland]

I know what you mean! Orpheus Lorien Haldir would work nicely? You've got me crushing on Lorien now.

I showed your name list to my bf and he knew what all of them were from/meant without me telling him! He's very impressed with your choices - he suggested Boromir, Thorin Gimli, and Heimdal - I could be spelling these wrong!!

[ottilie]

Orpheus Lorien Haldir is amazing! your boyfriend sounds awesome (but he's from the north, how can he not be?)!

Boromir is in and out of our list. He's actually one of my way favourite characters from Lord of the Rings. But I'm sort of madly in love with Sean Bean... a friend of mine lived next to his mum in Sheffield, so we used to hang out and watch him when I came home with her from boarding school. If he was around... so it would maybe be weird to name a kid after a character played by my teenage crush?But I know Sean Bean isn't Boromir...

Endymion Isidore Marinell
Endymion Triamond Hector
Endymion Alaric Guyon

Gawain Serafim Okkervil

Orpheus (I love, love, love, love this name, with Gawain being a close favourite too) Snowdon Marinell

Sorry if my choices aren't as artistic as everybody else's...but I ADORE your names! Good luck choosing the perfect one!

[hayleyinwonderland]

Ha! Oh he'll love you for that! He loves his fantasy movies and is into the whole Warhammer scene, etc He's now come up with Gotrek and Felix?

Aww! I know what you mean, I guess it could be weird - but that is pretty cool that you got so close to your teenage crush! I actually my boyfriend has a man crush on Sean Bean himself!
