Oliver Etienne

My MIL keeps bugging me to give Olly my FIL's middle name. I hate my FIL's name. His middle name is Stephen. Etienne is french for Stephen and I thought it might be a good compromise.

WDYT? Does it flow Ok? is it cute but ages well?? Hubs isn't sure.

How is etienne pronounced?

I hate Stephen too! That's my FIL's name. I would go with Etienne over Stephen any day.
My FIL's name is Stephen Ronald. My dad's is Clyde Vernon. Nothing useable there! lol

Quoting i made a vagina.:" How is etienne pronounced?"

Eh-tee-in (probably no exact, but it's as close as I can break it down)

Hubs isn't really coming up with anything other than Linus and I will give him Linus if he insists, but I don't love it. I want something extra amazing. Olly is our last baby and I want to absolutely love his name.

thanks for the feed back  

I like it over Linus and since my MIL has been bugging me for 8 years to use his middle name for our son's middle name. I thought it might work. We have plenty of time to find a middle name, but I have to shoot out idea's every now and then.

LOL Awwww I trust you. They must have been big jerk faces.

Some of them, others were just pushovers. I guess it's just a super common name in Malta, as is Julian, Mark, Tyrone (lol I know) and a few others, and I just can't take those seriously, ya know?

It's okay. Don't love it or hate it. It's better than stephan though

I like Oliver Stephen better, honestly.

Quoting Fatty McRunnerPants:" I like Oliver Stephen better, honestly."

Blah! LOL

LOVE Oliver. Etienne is better than Stephen but I would love something else with it. What are your other kids' names?
