Help3-name-combo brothers
I don't know very many people in real life who use three name combos. But today I got together with my friends whose two boys each have two middle names.
Seth Andrew Everett
Gavin Nathaniel Edward
Thoughts?
I don't love Seth and Gavin - although they do make nice brothers. But I am struck by the wonderful cadence of the names. The rhythm is quite awesome, I think.
Also, what in the world is going on with Nathaniel in my neck of the woods? I know three Nathaniels under age 4 and now a baby with Nathaniel as a middle name. Craziness. I do like the name well enough, though.

I'm a three-namer. Quite the best way to individualise a child without naming it Cricket! But, we only had one son: Peter David Alastair.
For my other pregnancies, I drew up the usual lists of possibilities - the boy ones included:
Adrian Douglas* Paul
Alastair* Stephen* James*
Benjamin* Richard Hedley*
Daniel* Hugo Keith*
Joseph* Patrick Roy*
William* Fraser* Alan*
Gareth Hilton* Bernard
Ian* Conrad Victor*
Robin* Gregor* Edward*
Thomas* Brendon* Clive*
The *s are honouring; I'd probably have opted for Daniel or Thomas, for family reasons; DH's family had an H-name + Daniel, known as Daniel, arrangement which has lapsed, and then Tom from my side.
