me and my husband are expecting a baby boy (due in may) and we have pretty much decided on the first name Apollo, it means a lot to us and we believe it is a cool name that can carry a person through life. what we’re having troubles on deciding is the middle name. we have some we like (Apollo Finn, Apollo Wells and Apollo Flynn are some) but we really aren’t sure and would love to here some ideas and opinions! any opinions on the first name are welcome as well!

I think Apollo Wells sounds really good. I don't see how Wells could be a considered a 'filler' middle name in the same way as something very popular like James for example.

it’s kind of difficult because a lot of the family names we might like to use are quite feminine so i’m not sure. Wells is my maiden name but i agree it does sound quite filler. other family names are Apollo Robin and Apollo Theodore which we aren’t sure of either

I don’t mind Apollo but think those middle names are slightly filler like the endless Grace/May/Rose girls middle names. Apollo needs more weight really. Have you a family name you might like to use?
