Thank you all those who suggested and congratulated me. When I see the names, there is no new name. Please give me some new latest names. I need christian names. But it doesn't matter whether it is Biblical name or not. |

Ernest due to The Importance Of Being Earnest. This is a delightful name but likely old-fashion.
He is the way.  Faithfull |

Dear All, I am still undecided. I would like to have winston as second name, if I don't get single name. For example, " Jhon winston", "Neil winston", "Harry winston", etc..... In other hand, I would like to have the name, which ends with "ton" like "Newton". Then names like "Newton Rose", "Arthur Newton", etc....... So please think in this way and suggest me with good name. Thank you very much for your co-operation and sharing. |

Do not use "Rose" - in Western countries, this is a girl's name.
If you are going to have a first name and a middle name, only one of them should end in "-ton." Newton Winston doesn't sound quite right when pronounced out loud; it rhymes and sounds awkward. Neil Winston or Newton Arthur both sound fine. Only one "-ton" name. Oh, and Harry Winston is the name of a famous jewelry store in the US, so you might not want to use that.
Other suggestions:
Newton James
Alexander Winston (you can nickname him anything from Al to Alex to Zander)
Newton Blake
Jacob Winston
Nicholas Winston
Sebastian Blake
Brendan Wyatt
Andrew Winston |

Andrew Winston | Quisch, Ok! I won't use the name "Rose". Newton Blake is looking nice. What is the meaning of "Blake"? Can I have any name of Poet or writter or scientist? All other names, which you gave are nice. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
