Middle names

[Lobena Bricatta]

What is James Potter's middle name? Or does he have one? If not any suggestions for a middle name?

Continuous circular motion is only a problem when your body gets tired:rolleyes:

Well, even though 'James' seems like a normal name, he came from a wealthy Pureblood family, so maybe something of Roman or Latin origin could work.

*pick Slytherin's brain*

Any suggestions?

I have looked up a few but haven't been able to find any good ones;)

Octagon... it is simply stepping out of the way... How could such a simple practice take so many years to learn?

*rubs hands together eagerly* Time to get to work!

-Augustus- Latin for 'great'
-Faustus- Latin for 'lucky'
-Curtis- Latin for 'courteous' (they hoped he would end up like this)
-Korbin- Latin for 'raven'
-Marius- Latin for 'warlike'
-Maximus- Latin for 'the greatest'
-Salus- Latin for 'healthy'
-Vincent- Latin for 'victorious'

I hope I've helped! :D Here's the link to that page if you don't like those: Latin boy names (http://www.babynames.com/Names/search_result.php)

I'm mad that JKR didn't put the middle names on their grave stones *sigh* Well, I guess she wanted us to use our imagination with that. Kind of like letting the fan fictioners fill up the gap from the last chapter and the Epilogue of book seven. anyway i suggest something with a J.:)

John
Jonathan
Jordan
Jason

Here's a thought: where did they get Harry? Maybe it was a family name somewhere, or it ould be James's middle name. Read it in a fanfic somewhere....

James Harry Potter.
Harry James Potter.

I wonder if Harry named

DH SPOILERS

End of spoilers :o

I'd find it quite hilarious if James had a very "uncommon" middle name. Like, did anyone watch CatDog? There was that one dog who had a very tough name, when it turns out his real name was like, really "geeky".

But then again, this is coming from someone who's parents made up her middle name...:)

Just to put a spin on things, what if James didn't have a middle name? Since we've never seen a canon middle name, it wouldn't be defying canon to not give him one.

Dark_Lady_Z brought up how there was nothing on his gravestone. Usually people's whole name are printed on their gravestone. So if it's really stressing you out, don't give hime one! Or you could give him just a letter. Like me. My middle name is just one letter (an initial).

Hope this helps!

I like Augustas and Maximus. They both mean great and the greatest...so maybe that semi-explains James' ego. hehe.

Once you've picked a middle name, read the name out loud and listen to see if it sounds good/right to you.

Does anyone know Lily's middle name? or have any good middle names for Lily? But no cheesy flower names,
Thank You:)

[SlytherinTears]

Hmm.
Well, judging by naming her and her sister both after flowers, maybe her parents went more a more contemporary, but nice middle name.

My favourites are -
Lily Michelle Evans
Lily Theresa Evans
Lily Susanne Evans
Lily Elizabeth Evans

To tell you the truth, it would be much easier if we knew if she was Irish or Scottish, or something like that. Though she has/had red hair, that still doesn't give us a clear direction of her cultural background. But I did look up the names Lily and Petunia and I got -

Lily - English
Simply means "lily" from the name of the flower, a symbol of purity. The word is ultimately derived from Latin lilium.

Petunia - English
From the name of the flower, derived ultimately from a Tupi (South American) word.

On the Black Family Tree there's a Charlus Potter who married a Dorea Black. The Lexicon has speculated that it is unlikely that Charlus and Dorea are James' parents for two reasons; one being that Harry didn't note them on the tree in OotP, and the other being that Jo said that James' parents were "quite elderly" when they had him and has also said that witches and wizards live a great deal longer than Muggles, that the roughly forty five year old Charlus could not possibly be Harry's grandfather, and the forty year old Dorea not possibly his paternal grandmother, "because they weren't old enough".

Mind, this is off the same tree that she had a thirteen year old boy fathering Bellatrix Lestrange.

Fact: Jo is miserable at math.

So. I think James' middle name was most likely Charlus.

Lily, I think, may have had something more like British Royalty or a saintly name, such as Lily Anne, personally. (Like, Petunia Mary, Lily Anne, for example). Or possibly April/May/June, something along those lines. ("Lily May")
