Bede Clement
Bede Wolfram
Bede Emmanuel
Bede Thaddeus
Bede Maurice (U.K. pronunciation)

Bede Angus
Bede Cormac
Bede Joachim
Bede Emmerich
Bede Auberon / Oberon
Bede Constantine
Bede Methodius
Bede Eamonn
Bede Lawrence
Bede Robert
Bede Cornelius
Bede Benedictus

It's much more comfortable as a mn, and difficult as a fn, but it's just too interesting to not try!I like a lot of your combos:
Bede Thaddeus
Bede Angus
Bede Cormac... ooh, probably my favorite!
Bede Joachim
Bede HawthorneStuff like Bede Franciscus and Bede Clement, etc. is great and totally fun to play around with, but I kind of wanted to avoid names that would make the entire name sound overly pious. Although I often like those sort of combos, too.
