Which one do you prefer? And which middle names work with them?
Thinking Logan James but don't like James with the other two and don't like any of them as a middle name...
Our first two boys are:
William Mark
Owen Kenneth
(Mark and Kenneth are the grandfathers names but we don't have any more of them

).

Love the name Miles

.
I think it sounds lovely with your other sons' names too.
Not a fan of Logan though. Angus is ok.

Hi Jackie
I prefer Miles, and my second choice would be Angus.
Not sure if James goes with Miles though - may need an alternative middle name.
I am finding the name thing this time, really hard and haven't made any decisions yet either.

I'm not a fan of Logan either.
My fave of the others would be Angus (which I think goes well with James too), then Miles.

I love Miles: nice and posh and soft. For a MN perhaps something long (Alexander?) would be nice I'd think.

I think Angus is the pick of the bunch. Gus for a nn has grown on me too. I'm not a fan of Miles (miles and miles away...) and Logan is very popular.
I like middle names with sentimental meaning, so what about DH's name or are there any Uncles with a nice name to use?

I personally love Logan but I think that Miles goes better with your other boys names

Good luck!

I LOVE LOGAN!!!!
Unfortunately DH doesn't nor does he like the other boys name I love which is Owen.
Great minds think alike

From your list I like Angus. Angus James perhaps?

I love Angus
Logan suits your other boys names the best but is a bit of a mouthfull if you say all the names together (Owen lOgan)
Miles is OK.

I really like Angus. Miles is nice (prefer Milo) and I don't like Logan at all.
It's a bit American Soapie for me.

Hi
I like Logan, and Miles not a huge fan of Angus.

Miles or Angus would sound the best. I think I like Angus the best with your other boy's names. Angus George, Angus Hamish (Scottish form of James), Angus Oliver, Angus Daniel, Angus Benjamin, Angus Matthew and Angus Elliott are all nice combos imo.

I don't like Logan or Miles - sorry. I don't mind Angus. I think Angus James actually goes quite well together.
Good luck.

Miles is my pick

.
I don't mind Angus, except growing up around dairy farms, I immediately think of the breed of cow

That's probably just me though. I also think you need some kind of Scottish heritage to carry it off.
I don't like Logan at all. It's a surname, it's the name of a not so nice area here in Brissie and it rhymes with 'bogan'.

I think I'm sticking with Miles... I've been stuck on it since I saw it a few months ago but DH hated it and lots of things happened to say 'no' to it (the latest being the dog eating the wooden letters I ordered from eBay

).
DHs name is Brad George (just Brad, not Bradley), I don't really like either as a MN (George was after his grandfather who wasn't a nice man so don't want to carry that on really).
DH likes Anthony but I can't stand it, it does kinda work as a MN though (compromise, ack!

). He also likes Austin or Archer, Miles Austin kinda works I think - it'd give him cool initials too M.A.C.
Otherwise my step-father is Graham Walter, DH though we could use Walter... DH is full of suggestions but not commited to anything

Miles and Angus... (and Owen too), you have great taste in boys names.

04/04/2008, 02:13 PM
Angus & Logan are NMS. Miles is the nicest & goes well with William & Owen.
If DH likes Anthony as a MN what about Antony?? Miles Antony is nice IMO.

Obviously you've never been to "Logan" as you're thinking of a particular part of Logan

Like other parts of the greater Brisbane area it has its 'nice' parts and it's 'not so nice' parts.
I like Angus

That'd be my
bogan Scottish nature coming out though.

Logan sounds really American to me and Angus makes me think of steak.

I love Angus, really like Miles and dislike Logan a great deal.
I find it a very interesting combination as they seem to be of two different name groups.

I quite like Miles Anthony - Miles is definitely my pick of your first names. You get your Miles, your DH gets Anthony!!

Angus and Logan are nms

I really like Angus

I never used to like it, but then my cousin named his DS Angus and it's grown on me since then to the point of really liking it now!
Interesting about your DH's name OP - because I really like the name Brad, but I don't like Bradley. I've never heard of Brad without really being Bradley iykwim!
I also agree with

I live in a very nice part of Logan City thanks very much

Hi jackie

I Like Miles Austin but actually prefer Miles Antony. Logan reminds me of X-Men & Angus I have never been a fan of. Good luck deciding.......

Miles Anthony or Miles Antony would be my pic out of the options.

What about Angus Benjamin?

07/04/2008, 01:29 PM
Oops, sorry to offend people from Logan in Brissie. I must have only seen parts of the area then.

Still don't like the name though!
~JAS~
08/04/2008, 02:34 PM
No prob Suz, Logan is a massive city - it's just a shame that so many people think of one or 2 suburbs when they hear "Logan"

It would be like thinking of Brisbane entirely based on 1 or 2 dodgy suburbs

Anyway, totally OT

especially with the middle name Xavier (suggested by PP)

Miles Austin or Miles Anthony - both are great.

I actually like all the names you have chosen

If I had to choose....in order it would be:
Miles
Angus
Logan

I really don't like Logan. Not only does it have a different feel to the classic names you have already, but it sounds funny when you say them together. I like Miles, though, and love Angus - I have one myself

My son is Angus Roy - both Scottish names and it means 'outstanding red one'

Miles, but, I think Angus flows better with James. Logan is NMS.
