I am absolutely in love with the name Elliott but am stuck for middle name/s. Any suggestions are welcome! :)

I was going to say Mason but see you have a similar sounding surname.Grin
I think Elliot James Hudson sounds perfect.

Pedalpushers · 04/04/2021 21:10

I actually think Elliot Alexander-Heath sounds really good.

I think Ray/Rae for girls is really common for middle names these days and I always assume they couldn't think of anything else.

I wouldn't hyphenate the middle names. Just leave them as two middle names, rather than hyphenating them into one.

We're currently really liking Elliott Alexander-Ray Hudson. I think it's the perfect combination of modern and traditional names.

A one syllable name sounds better after Alexander.

What about John? Elliott Alexander John Hudson flows nicely.

Cindie943811A · 02/04/2021 21:13

I naturally thought James so that obviously a combination that flows to most ears.
I’d go for Elliott James Alexander Hudson.
Or secondly Elliott Alexander James Hudson

Sprig1 · 31/03/2021 10:30

I thought James too. It's clearly the one!

Bumpsadaisie · 31/03/2021 10:27

Another one who immediately thought James!

Thehawki · 31/03/2021 10:25

Hi all. Just an update. We've decided on two middles, Alexander for definite and the second is in question. We just have so many names we love!
Which one is y'alls favourite?

Elliott Alexander-Ray Hudson
Elliott Alexander-George Hudson
Elliott Alexander-James Hudson
Elliott Alexander-Theo Hudson
Elliott Alexander-Matteo Hudson

Love Elliot. Was going to name my son Elliot 32 years ago, after a very close friend, Ellen. Elliot James is lovely. I like middle names to be a family name. All of ours have family member names.

IIN16 · 31/03/2021 09:35

I was going to say James as well!
Elliott Thomas?
Elliott Ray?
Elliott Lucas?
Elliott Martin?

Elliott James Hudson is a very fine name.

Ray also came to my mind.

I agree. Elliott Heath Hudson sounds too clunky. What a shame though! I do love the heath plants.

Elliot Peter

PandaFluff · 30/03/2021 19:59

I find Elliott Heath Hudson more clunky than Elliott James Hudson. But that could just be me.

PandaFluff · 30/03/2021 19:56

@Mammabearhudson

Our top contenders for traditional names are James and Alexander however we're unsure if we should go for something more modern for our 2021 baby. We were thinking about Raine or Heath for the more modern middle names.
I don't think you need to worry about it not sounding modern. It doesn't sound very old fashioned.

Stevearnottsbeard · 30/03/2021 19:14
