[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I  think your choice is perfect.  Both the name, Philip, and the special significance.  For a middle name, perhaps you could choose your maiden name?  Or the maiden name of your mother.  I think a surname could work well with Philip.[/quote]

OP here: My surname is a feminine name and I don't want to use it when naming a boy. I don't even have a middle name myself!! 
[b]I'd like honor my grandmother named Gertrude[/b]. I don't think it's going to work with Phillip though.

Philip Gerard! 
Gerard has some of the same origins as Gertrude:

I liked the suggestion of Garrett, too, but I think Gerard works better with Philip because the stress is on the second syllable.

I like Gerald better than Gerard and it shares the same root as well with Gertrude:  http://www.behindthename.com/name/gerald

Phillip is a great choice.  I had a good friend from h.s. with that name too.  But I like that you're honoring your family and it's history.[/quote]
