Yay. I love the name
John. Overly used in the past, I think he doesn't get enough attention any more. People say it's high in the charts, but I rarely see it discussed on baby name boards.
John Eldon would be a nice way to honor your father.
An "
Elton John" image kind of takes it over though.
John Whitney -- Too bad
Whitney has become a spoiled rich girl name, in my mind at least. See? This is why I hate people indiscriminately using other people's surnames as fns.
John Ernest -- Great combination, it honors your family, and subtley honors one of my favorite authors,
Oscar Wilde and "The Importance of Being
Earnest." This one gets the thumbs up from me.
I came up with
John Garbhan /
Garvan by chance yesterday. It's been rattling around in my head all day. Maybe you would like it too. Other than that, my usuals are:
John Graham ("GRAY-um")
John MatthiasJohn SebastianJohn CorneliusJohn BartholomewJohn EmericJohn CormacJohn EsmondJohn GarethJohn MagnusJohn Edmund
Do you like any of these?
