Hello everyone,

My sons first name is James. I am stuck between two middle names for him and we will only choose one of them (they don't go together anyway). Which name combo would you choose/like best and why?

James William B@ldwin

James Leo B@ldwin

Thanks so much for your help!

William. Leo feels a bit nickname-y to me.

James William

James William.
sounds more balanced somehow.

I think I just prefer William, but only by a tiny bit. Both lovely names!

I prefer James William because I prefer the name William to Leo . James is a great name .

James is such a great name.

I'd choose James Leo simply because it's a little more unexpected and less 'safe' than James William.

James William is nice too, I do like classic names, but James Leo is just that bit more interesting.
