We've decided on a first name for our boy: Grant.
My husband wants the middle name to have meaning, since Grant we picked just because we like it. These are all family names or have other meaning, but I've learned that not a lot "flows" with Grant. What do you think?
Grant Patrick
Grant Thomas
Grant Christopher
Grant Rearden
Grant Clifton
1. Thomas
2. Patrick
I like Thomas best.
Patrick, Thomas and Christopher are all really nice, strong names.
Clifton is okay.
Is Rearden a family name? If not, I'm not a fan at all. I could get behind it if it's a family name though :-)
LatteLady5: I like Thomas best. Patrick, Thomas and Christopher are all really nice, strong names. Clifton is okay. Is Rearden a family name? If not, I'm not a fan at all. I could get behind it if it's a family name though :-)
This exactly.
Grant Patrick gets 100% of my vote!
Since Grant is also a common surname, I would steer clear of Thomas, Rearden, or Clifton as I view those as surnames as well.
I like Grant Patrick and Grant Reardon the best.
Thomas is a good name, but I feel that the "t" at the end of Grant makes the flow into Thomas less smooth.
FWIW, we went with Grant Michael. Grant because we love it and Michael after my FIL.
Grant Thomas is my fave. I don't like Grant Rearden or Grant Clifton. The rest are fine.
I have a Grant Thomas so that gets my vote!
pas1224:Grant Thomas is my favorite, but I also like Grant Patrick.
This.
