Re: guess the next nephew
in reply to a message by Ash
Good question. Both middle names are honouring. My brother's name is Paul, so Timothy is from the Biblical Timothy - companion and apprentice to the apostle Paul. Lewis is for C.S. Lewis, Christian theologian and author. For this one my middle name guesses would be related to Adventures in Odyssey (a radio drama we were addicted to as kids) or music (maybe Toby Mac?). Landon is very nice, but probably unusable because of their last name. Dylan or Tristan or Colton seem like good guesses. I wish it would be Miles.Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

What a nice use of Timothy!If they wanted to stay with C.S.Lewis, they could use Jack, that, I read, is what he liked to be called, rather than Clive.(or they could use Clive, anyway, since they have a "J" name.)Clive is kind of uncommon.

I like the use of Timothy too.I also know a dad named Jonathan whose son's middle name is David. I'm assuming it's the same idea what with the Old Testament buddies Jonathan and David.Now I'm thinking about what my husband and I could have done, since his middle name is Benjamin. We could have used Joseph. :)

I have a son named Joseph.His two middle names are his father's, and paternal grandfather's.(Arabic names, and they identify my son a bit too closely.So I won't say them).

OhgoshAdventuresinOdysseylovethatradiodramasosososomuch....*kaff* Well, if it's something maybe related to Adventures in Odyssey, I think Connor Avery might make sense (John Avery "Whit" Whittaker), or Connor Riley (Tom Riley), or Connor James (James "Jimmy" Barclay), or maybe even Connor Eugene (Eugene Meltsner). (Yes, I'm kinda stuck on Connor for this one).
