[Opinions] Roscoe

My grandpa, Sanford William, had a brother named James Roscoe who died when he was two. My dad was named James Sanford to honor both my grandpa and his brother. I've wanted to use Roscoe, but most of my family members don't like it. Also, I want to use Edward to honor my great great grandpa because my grandma had wanted to use it and my grandpa wouldn't allow it.

So my first question is, what do you think of Roscoe?

My second question is, should I go with Edward Roscoe, Roscoe Edward, or use the two honoring names in two separate combos (I am really fond of Morgan Edward)?

Edward Roscoe James? I agree that Morgan Edward is good! Morgan Edward and Roscoe James (or Roscoe William) would be brilliant - do you think you could achieve twins?

Possibly. They do run in the family.

I like Edward Roscoe the best and it flows better too. I like both Roscoe and Edward but dislike Morgan

Honestly, Roscoe sounds more like a pets name than a child. However, if it is important to you then I say use it as a mn. Edward is lovely and Edward Roscoe sounds nice.

Edward Roscoe is HOT, holy jeez. Roscoe is a more interesting name, but Roscoe Edward does not flow very well at all.

I guess it depends on if you like one name more than the other. If it was me, for example, I would pick Roscoe and pair it with another middle name and use Edward on another child or in another combo, like your Morgan Edward. Or I would put Edward Roscoe on the birth certificate but call the baby Roscoe right from the get-go.

Edward Roscoe-called-Roscoe is giving me goosebumps it is that good. NICE.
