Middle name for William

[stickybear]

I think we've decided on William for our second DS, due next month, but I'm really struggling for a middle name! I'd love Arthur but sadly it would lead to some unfortunate initials. Can anyone suggest some ideas that don't begin with a vowel please?

I think unless you have a name you want to use because you like it or its a family name either dont have a middle name or go for something a bit out there. How about...
Horatio
Falcon
Fox
River
Scout
Hunter
Jay
Zeke
Valentino
Byron
Lennon
Raphael
Rio

Love the name William, it’s one of my son’s middle name. How about:
Theo
George
James
Gabriel
Jude
Myles
Hugo
Daniel

William Hudson
William Thomas
William Cole

Thanks for the ideas, that's my thinking too. My son has a very traditional first name and a more unusual second name, so would be nice to follow a similar pattern this time around. I like Hunter from your list

William Joseph?

I also love Jude and Gabriel! William Jude sounds lovely

My Dad was William George so I'm a bit biased.

William George was the first thing that came to my mind. It has a lovely timeless sound to it.

I also like William Jude

William Joseph
William James
William Jacob


It seems the "J" slums flows nicely from William.

[TrashPanda]

I have a William Jude and know a William George and a William John, the juh sound does seem to be popular.

Why what’s wrong with William Richard.
It’s rather EITM (Early in the morning, so I’m obviously missing something 🤣🤣
