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 ThaddeusBede AngusBede Cormac... ooh, probably my favorite!
Bede JoachimBede Hawthorne
Stuff 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.
