Middle name for Emmett

I’ve been really liking the name Emmett lately, but I’m having trouble thinking of a good middle name to go with it. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I've only heard Emmett used as a slang for tourists by my Cornish friends. Don't think it would be an issue outside of the South West.

Emmett Alexander is lovely.
Emmett:
Christopher
Patrick
Alistair
Francis
Laurence
Benjamin
Nathaniel/Nathan

South West. Grockels where I am now.

… but as long as you live somewhere where that’s not a problem, I like Emmett Michael.

Yes, it means ant in Old English, and in Cornwall it’s a derogatory word for a tourist. It will be the first thing to come to mind for anyone from the West Country or who has spent holidays there.

James immediately sprung to my mind.

Emmett or an Emmet is the slang term for tourist in Cornwall. I love it as a name but couldn't use it due to our location.

I like the name Emmett, and I love the suggestion of Emmett Alexander, I think that sounds really strong and distinguished.

As a pp has said emmett means ant and is slang for tourist! I suppose if you avoid the West Country it might be okay!

Coming in with another suggestion: Emmett Nicholas
(also never heard of it as slang for tourists)

Rainbowqueeen · 10/09/2021 21:45

Came on to say Christopher too

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 10/09/2021 21:44

I’ve never heard Emmett as a word for tourist - presumably it’s particular to the South West? I know a few Emmetts, all Irish.
