I think Matthew pairs will with a more unusual middle name than something very standard like James. Here are some from my list.
Matthew Aloysius
Matthew Aurelian
Matthew Casimir
Matthew Lucien
Matthew Orion
Matthew Raphael

I know a Matthew Paul and a Matthew Oscar.

I always love family names as middle names personally - any good names from a grandfather or uncle you love?

It needs to be something a bit less classic (in my opinion). I love a classic name with a hidden off-the-wall (or unusual at least) middle name. Particularly if you have a bit of a bog-standard surname.

Brodie
Taliesin (I may have spelt that wrong)

They're all quite classic and don't have a J (although my go to was going to be Joseph!)

Thanks guys. His surname will start with a J - think Johnson - so I don’t want either an M or J middle name. Thanks for all the replies
