Every question is optional but I would really appreciate any insight you can give. :)
*warning: I've decided to use two middle names*

This or That

Dexter Alec Benjamin or Dexter Benjamin Rhys
Garrett Lionel Dean or Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur or Simon Tobias Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias or Crispin Abel Matthias

Thoughts on these names?

Dmitri/Demetri
Jethro
Tobias
Dexter
Lionel
Crispin

If you had too...

~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why?
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why?
~Define my style, what would you say? Why?

This or That
Dexter Alec Benjamin
Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias

My favourite out of them would be Simon Joshua Arthur :)

Thoughts on these names?
Dmitri/Demetri
Tobias

Sorry, most of them are nms


If you had too...
~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why? I'd choose Simon...why? No idea ^_^ It's just my favourite from those three :)
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why? I think Eliza and Dexter sound good together and also Eliza and Simon (this again being my favourite)
~Define my style, what would you say? Why? Old fashioned with some twist of moderness (eg. Dexter). I quite like it, especially the "This or That" part.

Dexter Benjamin Rhys flows best and I prefer, but for two middle name the last name has a huge difference in my preferred order for middle names ^_^

Garrett Lionel Dean! <3

Simon Tobias Arthur!!! Omg looooove it!

Vincent Abel Matthias is my fav, Crispin makes me think of cooking meat :)

Dmitri or Demetri are both not my style :) not sure why, but I personally dislike them!

Jethro is handsome! I looove NCIS though and Agent Gibbs is a fav... so yeah haha! Love Jethro ;)

Lionel I love so much!

As I mentioned above, Crispin sounds like cooked chicken :L

Simon! I love Simon, it just sounds manly and cute!

Eliza and Tobias would be really cute I think! I like how they sound together!

Hope I helped, Heather!

This or That
Dexter Alec Benjamin
Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias

Thoughts on these names?
Dmitri/Demetri - Love, love, love! :) (I like the spelling Dmitri)
Jethro - It's okay
Tobias - Hmm, it's not really my style
Dexter - Definitely not my style
Lionel - A little too stuffy for me
Crispin - Okay, but again not my style

If you had too...
~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why?
Simon, because I love that name :)
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why?
Dmitri, I'm not sure why
~Define my style, what would you say? Why?
You like classic, but underused names.

This or That
Dexter Benjamin Rhys
Garrett Lionel Dean
Simon Tobias Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias

Thoughts on these names?

Dmitri/Demetri - this is okay, but I prefer the spelling Demetri
Jethro - not my style, but it makes me think of Gibbs on NCIS (which I love)
Tobias - LOVE but would probably only use as a mn
Dexter - I like this with the nn Dex
Lionel - not my style, but it makes me think of Lionel Richie... hello, is it me your looking for :)
Crispin - not my style

If you had too...

~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why?
Simon - I really like the nickname Si
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why?
Tobias - well I love this name, and I think they sound great together
~Define my style, what would you say? Why?
You can take this quiz to find out for sure: http://namenerds.com...n/namequiz.html
But I'd say you like classic but with an unusual twist.

Dexter Alec Benjamin or Dexter Benjamin Rhys
Garrett Lionel Dean or Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur or Simon Tobias Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias or Crispin Abel Matthias



[u]If you had too...

~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why? Simon. Dexter would be a close second. Um, I'm not a big fan of Garrett. Dexter is nice and I like the nn Dex but I always think of Dexter's Laboratory. Simon is my favorite of these
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why? I think Dexter goes best with Eliza.
~Define my style, what would you say? Why? Country Eclectic Chic. Many of your names I would consider country or have a country feel, but they are very different styles within that aspect. Jethro/Lionel are a bit old fashioned country, while Garrett/Tobias/Dexter are have a more modern country feel without being trendy.

This or That

Dexter Alec Benjamin or Dexter Benjamin Rhys
Garrett Lionel Dean or Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur or Simon Tobias Arthur
Vincent Abel Matthias or Crispin Abel Matthias


Thoughts on these names?

Dmitri/Demetri - too Russian. I wouldn't use it unless you claimed and strongly associated with your Russian heritage.
Jethro and Tobias - you're an NCIS fanatic aren't you? :)
Dexter - you're son WILL get picked on if he gets named this. I went to school with a Dexter and he was teased relentlessly about his name.
Lionel - very old-fashioned. reminds me of an old man smoking a pipe.
Crispin - not my style.

If you had too...

~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why? Simon, I love underused Bible names.
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why? Simon, it's Biblical like Eliza, and also short and simple, which is also a big trend in today's names.
~Define my style, what would you say? Why? Labeling people is not very nice.

Any post with the name Dexter is worth replying to!



This or That

Dexter Alec Benjamin
Garrett Dean Anthony
Simon Joshua Arthur
Crispin Abel Matthias


Thoughts on these names?


Dmitri/Demetri - Just sounds too denomic. I'm seeing Pet Sematary in your future. "No fair daddy, No fair"
Jethro - Here comes the Clampetts.
Tobias - Interesting.
Dexter - I'm loving it. But of course you gotta be a Dexter Morgan/Serial Killer type of fan.
Lionel - Er... If you dont have anything nice to say... I'm just gonna stick with that.
Crispin - Not my style but i dont have anything against it personally.


If you had too...

~Name a son Dexter, Garrett, or Simon, which would you pick? Why? Dexter... It's already our number two choice. But then again, my husband and I love Dexter on Showtime. We are just warped that way.
~Name a brother to Eliza, which name from this topic would you pick? Why? Dexter or Simon. Dexter sounds better Simon is another Bibical name.
~Define my style, what would you say? Why? I dont know enough about styles and etc to comment without sounding ignorant.
