Re: Middle Names
Does your dad have any middle names you could use?
Or would it perhaps be appropriate to have a conversation with your dad where he actually picks a name? Or maybe you give him a list of names you and your other half are agreed on let your dad pick from there? Still a way of honouring, I think, and definitely a cute story to tell your son.
Garth has meaning linked with garden, perhaps you could go with botanical or nature name?Will be spreading some love to Thailand's vulnerable children and animals summer 2016 ~ please support this worthy cause :-) gofund.me/epv33uzfhttp://www.behindthename.com/pnl/117870?sort=rating&pop=ew

I do love the meaning of Garth, too. His middle name is Frederick, which is his dad's name, but we dislike that even more. :/ It would be nice if all of your family members had names you liked or at least were neutral on, wouldn't it? :)

Oh yes! That would make naming life much easier!Maybe a diminutive of Frederick - or is that too much of a stretch for honouring purposes? I'm thinking, Freddie, Ricky, Rico, Fritz etc?

I did suggest Fritz! We both have a lot of German ancestry in our families, especially DH's. He didn't seem keen on the idea, though. Of course. Because he's never keen on anything! D:
