Griffin Jonathon (which is my husbands name) doesn’t exactly sound right.

Gavin Wade sounds awesome!

Jonathan Griffin sounds alright if you want to do it that way.

I’d ask the Genie...he’s pretty good at making some interesting concotions that would please all parties and honor the uncle in the process.

As for my suggestions, maybe try spelling it differently and see if you like that version any better: Wain? You wouldn’t have to use it as your son’s first name either...make it the middle AND spell it differently. For example: Jonathan Wain.

Or what about using Uncle Wayne’s middle name as a middle for your son: Burton? Then you can go with whatever first name under the sun you like!

I LOVE Griffin, but I suppose it’s not JUST Uncle Wayne’s surname, but the surname of several others in your family, so you wouldn’t end up actually honoring him at all.

Jonathon Burton also sounds really good

using griffin would still honor him.as it was him who was in mind when the name was chosen.
