Thoughts on this middle?

DH have decided on the first name Fraser for our boy. Sadly we don't have Scottish roots but hopefully we could get away with it (what do you think?)
We are now struggling with middle names. Our likes are all over the place and we just can't agree on anything. We almost agreed on Thomas and then decided maybe it was a bit of just a filler middle and actually thought of Thames.

Combinations we've thought of:
Fraser Thames
Fraser Nicholas
Fraser Maxwell

We don't really have middle name traditions in our family so we're free to choose whatever we want to be honest. It took us a lifetime to agree on the first name and now the middle name is ruining our existence! Please help Thanks

MikeUniformMike I know middles are usually considered unnecessary but I have a first name I loathe and actually adore my middle name and so I've always used it. I like the idea of giving our DC the option of two names.

I do like the nickname Frase or just Eff as in the letter F so not really a problem.

daisypond Thanks! I think DH and I have written it down and said it out loud so many times that it sounds normal to us already and our judgment is clouded but it's nice to have a fresh set of eyes agree on it

DH is Fraser and his middle name is James (yes he's Scottish).

You can definitely can get away with it, it's a great name.

Fraser is nice. Thames is fine. I like it.

You don't really need as middle name, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I live near the Thames so it seems an unusual choice, but I know of people with a river name as a first or middle name.

Fraser is really nice. Some things to consider - he'll be Frase or Fra, and people will say Frasier or write Frazer.
