Baby Names

Middle name help for Quentin

We won't even find out the sex for another 6 weeks, but we're leaning toward Quentin for a boy. We wanted to use FIL's first name for a middle name if we had a boy since DS1 has my dad's name as a middle (he had cancer and then passed away when DS was 7mo so we chose his name first to honor). Issue is, his name is Alvin, and Quentin Alvin is a bit.. much IMO. Any suggestions for a middle name that would go? DH's middle name is Daniel, not my fave. Thanks!

Re: Middle name help for Quentin

  • Personally I would pair Quentin with something more traditional. Any other family names you would consider using? What is FIL's middle name?

    Quentin Thomas
    Quentin Joseph
    Quentin Michael
    Quentin Edward
    Quentin Matthew
    Quentin Elliott
    Quentin James

    FWIW I like Quentin Daniel a lot :)

  • Thanks for the suggestions! I may let Quentin Daniel slide since it sounds like DH wants to use it. I haven't said no, or I don't like it much, etc. FIL's mn is Dean, but SIL and BIL just used it for my nephew who is 2 months old, Bastian Dean. FIL asked where they got Dean from lol. So to me, FIL won't really think it's that great to use his mn.

  • I actually think Quentin Alvin sounds fine, especially with the family connection.

    Quentin Alvin doesn't have the best flow, but it sounds fine and I really like the family connection.

    I know a Quentin Alexander. Other suggestions:
    Quentin Abraham
    Quentin Reid
    Quentin Miles
    Quentin Oliver

    ETA: Grammar, because apparently I can't write English today.
