Tristan and Owen
Which of the two do you prefer? Why?The baby will be born while DH is deployed so I was thinking it'd be nice to give him DH's name, Robert, as a middle name (even though DH doesnt liek the flow).MN ideas:
Robert, Allen, Thomas, Peter, Albert, Donnell

With Robert as a middle name I have to pick Owen.

I prefer Tristan; one of the better medieval heroes, and a good-sounding name. I think Tristan Robert flows very well, and of all your mn suggestions, Robert has the most medieval feeling so they match well too. Tristan Allen and Tristan Thomas don't sound good to me at all. The others ... not as good as Robert, and I'd say that even if your husband was Peter, Albert or Donnell!Owen isn't bad, but it is bland. And I know an Owen who must be, oh, in his late 50s, early 60s and is always known as Owie. I would do a lot to save a child from growing up to be Owie.

Hmmm... Tristan Robert or Owen Robert. I like Tristan Robert. Now, if it was between Robert Tristan and Robert Owen, I would say Robert Owen. Robert is a very handsome name and goes well with just about anything, imo.

I like Owen better. Where I live these are both pretty common, but there seem to be little Tristans absolutely everywhere, so I'd go wit Owen. I don't think the flow of Owen Robert is too bad at all. Although Owen Donell would be my pick from your options. Does DH have a mn you could use?
