We are fairly set on Nehemiah for baby boy (nn Neo) and are looking for a middle name. Open to any and all suggestions please!

Gorgeous name.
Can’t go wrong with James.

1 syllable: John, Mark, Luke, Job,Jude

I don’t think you need a middle name

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/07/2024 12:28

Do you not like your child, lol? Chill, joke. I assume it has some religious or family significance. I’ve never heard of it. I would keep any middle name very plain and simple if that’s the first name..

Berga · 29/07/2024 12:25

Pronounced Nee-uh-mai-uh.

I agree with PPs about a shorter traditional middle name.

otravezempezamos · 29/07/2024 12:25

Something short like James, Mark, Luke (going for Biblical names if that’s why you have picked the first name)

elliejjtiny · 29/07/2024 12:24

My eldest has a long biblical first name and we went with a short middle name (John) to go with it.

toastofthetown · 29/07/2024 12:23

Are you religious? I think Joseph and David sound good with Nehemiah, but together I’d assume the parent was very devout. None religiously, I think Rupert and Cedric sound good. Two syllable consonant heavy names generally seem to compliment it. One syllable names too, but they are very popular for middle names.

Wayne and Garry are very nice names.

I think you need something short and easy to pronounce.
