HelpRe: Robert, David, James & Marshall.
in reply to a message by KDen20
Oops, looks like I posted on the older post below (didn't see this one). It looks like I was thinking along the same lines as you, but I'll repost my old post below just in case any of it will be helpful.
In response to your current question, I guess I would throw out Marsha, Jamie & Davinia. Sorry if someone has already suggested these!

"Hmm. I think he should consider caving on the 2 mn's thing. Have you tried crying yet? ;)
Beyond that, I would suggest rearranging your prospective girls' names. See if he feels as strongly about 2 mn's on girls, and if he doesn't, consider things like Jocelyn Jamie Violet (for James) or Jocelyn Roberta, if he won't cave on the 2 mn thing.
Also, do most (or any) of the men you're honoring share a common last name? If they do, consider using that as a middle name to honor more than one of them with one name.
I admire your dedication to honoring your loved-ones, yet keeping your child's name as individual as you want it to be. Lots of luck!"

Haha, no I have not tried crying yet. Although I think if push comes to shove that might work!:)
The way I see it, giving my sons two middle names (especially since they are honoring family members) shouldn't be that much of a big deal because ultimately the child will be the one who decides if he will put his full name on legal documents or even which name he wants to be called, so I feel as if I am just giving him more options with his name later in life. Of course, SO doesn't see it this way...grrr.
Actually, all four family members have the same last name (my maiden name) and my SO doesn't care for my last name, even though I love it. So perhaps that is a way to get around it. That's a good idea.
Thanks for your suggestions! They help a lot:)
