After McWhirter or Chuck?
I'd go for McWhirter as a middle name, so that when he invariably gets his name on a board as treasurer of the local bowls club it reads Heaton, Norris McWhirter.

The advice we were given was to imagine yourself yelling the name across a busy Asda/tesco/Waitrose/Harrods at an errant toddler and see how you feel about the name then...

When it comes to names, boring is good.

Nobody ever says "That's a nice name" to a boring name, do they??

I was thinking more about girls, tbh. I quite like girls to like my name and couldn't care less what blokes think.

No they aren't, they are boring.

I don't mean anything wacky or out there however there are some lovely names out there and yet people still persist with James or Thomas etc.

If boring means he can get through his schooldays without anyone pointing and laughing that's good.
