Middle name help pls!

[Lauralastic]

We really like the names Ezra and Xander as first names, we're jus waiting to see what he looks like to decide which name to use. We haven't come up with a middle name yet though. Our surname is a city name begining with N so was thinking of a single sylable midddle name, any suggestions pls?

Prefer Ezra personally. Is Xander short for Alexander?

Ezra Jude

Xander is I guess a shorter form of Alexander, but I think it is also a name on its own too. My first son is called Jago James

love Jago
think Ezra goes best with it. Trying to think of other appropriate MNs is hard.

Ezra Finn maybe?

I like Finn as a name, but as the surname starts with an N its difficult to make it sound right! I know I'm being mega fussy but I think its got to sound right... NOt far off using the same middle name as my first son but then I thought that isn't being very individual!

How about Laurie or Elijah?

Ezra Elijah has a nice ring to it.

Laurie is cool, as it is Hugh Laurie's birthday around when baby is due... trouble is my name being Laura!

If you were using Laurie as a first name that might be a problem, but not for a middle name. If you love it, use it

Hmm, can't think of very many single syllable boys' names that aren't contractions:

Han
Luke (all getting a bit Star Wars!)
John
Garth
Ross
Paul

Ezra Jude

George
Max
Charles
Josh(ua)
Sam(uel)
Miles
Ralph
Hugh
Rhys
Jack
Nick/Nicholas
Eli

I like Ezra Jude too.
