Middle name for Albert

We're pretty set on calling our baby boy Albert 💙(Albie for short) and our surname is Edwards, but we're really struggling with choosing a middle name.

These are the options we have come up with so far:

  • Albert Eric Edwards (Baby's great grandad's name was Eric, just not sure if it flows well enough 🤔)
  • Albert Sylvester Edwards (Baby's grandad's middle name and also his great great grandad's first name - pretty quirky and I am not sure if it is too odd 🤔but I like the family tie and how the name flows)
  • Albert Sebastian Edwards
  • Albert Henry Edwards
  • Albert Oscar Edwards

Would appreciate any thoughts on these (and votes!) and/or suggestions of other names that could work well. Thanks so much🤗

Sylvester

@TheSandgroper Thank you - I thought that too when looking at the family tree! Joseph cannot be used as it is the name of another family member that would be unsuitable, but thanks for the suggestion :)

Albert Joseph.

Genealogists of the future will like the Sylvester, though.
