Both dh and I want to honor our grandfathers and great grandfathers, but can't decide which one or how many!

TIA!

Simon Herschel has a great sound to it.

Thanks for the votes everyone! Do you like any other combinations of these names?

I LOVE the name Simon IMO, the others are all too common for a first name. Herschel is nice, but it *will* be misspelled for his entire life -see my name below

My little guy is Henry Thomas after his two grandfathers (DH's dad's first name and my dad's family name, also my maiden name). I don't mind saying his last name - Lake. Henry Thomas Lake, isn't that awesome? If that combo sounds as good with your last name, I say go for it. We're happy to share! Thomas Henry is also very nice. Both names are becoming a bit more popular again but I doubt that they'll ever be super common as a lot of people find them too retro-geek.

I forgot to add - if you want to stick with Simon, I also really like Simon Herschel. Herschel is a bit of a mouthful though so it may depend on how it sounds with your last name. Good luck!

I like Simon Herschel and Simon Henry.

Thanks everyone! Dh likes Simon Herschel the best too, and I think I have to agree. Our last name is one syllable and starts with G, so I think it works.

Herschel is dh's grandpa and he's a beautiful person. I'd love to incorporate someone from my family this time since ds's middle name is after dh's brother, but his family just has way cooler names than mine!

Simon Joseph. I also like Simon Thomas and Simon James. Simon Herschel is an unexpected cool name
