[Opinions] Middle names for Andrew...
I've had a few favourite MNs for Andrew in the past (Andrew Scott, Andrew Ishmael, Andrew George) and my current favourite is Andrew Lachlan. However, on the off-chance that I should concieve and give birth to a baby boy out of wedlock (you know how that's always happening), I would face a terrible problem - Lachlan doesn't sit too well with my last name (one syllable, begins with L, I've said it before but feel like being anonymous today). *Horror*
I quite like (and I know you're going to slaughter me) Andrew Diamond [LN], but Diamond might sound a little much with my last name. So, any other ideas? I'm not quite awake at night worrying about it, but near enough. ;-)

I know two Andrews, and their middle names are Andrew Kenneth and Andrew John. I like the latter combo. I also suggest Andrew Jackson (unless you find that too corny), Andrew Lee, and Andrew Thomas.

Andrew John is quite nice, though I'd spell it Andrew Jon. Andrew Jackson flows very well, but Jackson would forever remind me of Thriller. ;-) Andrew Jack would be lovely, though.
I've never got on with Lee as a stand alone name, I always think it should be tacked onto the end of something, like "Andrew-Lee", but that may because two of my friends are called Terri-Leigh and Tammy-Leigh. Terri plans to inflict this curse on her children and tack a "Leigh" on to every one, regardless of sex.
Andrew Thomas, as I mentioned in another post, is NMS, though it flows well. Thanks for your suggestions. :-)

Well, my son is Andrew Duncan and I just love it. Duncan is an old family Scottish name and I think it fits so well with Andrew. My brother is Andrew Thomas and I love that as well.Andrew George and
Andrew Lachlan are nice also!

Andrew Duncan is a very handsome name! Andrew Thomas flows nicely, too, but I'm not that mad about the name Thomas.

Andrew Joseph would be my favorite, and despite the alliteration I've always liked Andrew Alexander.

I quite like Andrew Joseph (or Andrew Josephus :-D), but I'm not too keen on Andrew Alexander. Andrew Lex, perhaps? ;-)

Andrew Philip is nice, Philip used to be my third favourite name. I would use Andrew Paul to honour my favourite hairdresser, Paul Burfoot. ^ ^

Diamond reminds me too much of Neil Diamond. "Dance like no one's watching."
This is a favorite quote of mine

LOL, only earlier was I looking at a CD, thinking "THAT'S Neil Diamond?"

My cousin is Andrew Ian, which I've always thought was a nice combo.:-)

I think Ian is okay - I would used it, though, in some kind of tribute to Ian Hislop and Have I Got News To You...either triplets called Ian, Angus & Paul or one boy: Angus Paul Ian. ;-)

Aww, come on, Diamond is a handsome name...more so than Blue. ;-)
Seriously, thank you for all your suggestions. I like:Andrew Vincent - This is a great one - Vincent used to be my favourite name, after Andrew, but I never thought of it.
Andrew Cathal - Is it pronounced KAH-hal? I'd be really evil and spell it phoenetically if so. ^ ^
Andrew Donovan
Andrew Dashiell
Andrew Mylo - I prefer Milo, or Miles, though.

I have figured it out!
HA HA! I am a genius! I figured out your last name ;oD Okay maybe it wasn't such a feat. In any case, I think Andrew Lachlan Love sounds great. Oh and although it's a bit odd, I see nothing wrong with Andrew Diamond, either.
vote up1
Hehe, well done! ;-)
I thought the three L sounds in Lachlan Love was a bit much, but I don't know, maybe it isn't. Andrew Diamond is so gorgeous...oh, but it reminds me of Daniel O'Donnel.
