Middle name for Joseph

Hi :)
I have a little boy due 20th August, we have decided on the name Joseph but we can't think of a middle name. His surname will be Robinson so I don't really want a middle name that will be too long.
I have a daughter already called Alyssa Harmony which is a little unusual so I am looking for a middle name for the baby that will be a little different too.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

Have you thought about using a family name? My DSs both have grandparents names as their middle names and I think it is a really nice way of keeping a name in the family.

My partner does not have much contact with his side of the family so we wouldn't use any of their names for the baby.
My fathers name is 'Andre Starlight'!! Really wouldn't want that for a name either. I considered using my grandfather's name 'Harry' for a middle name but my brother has already been named after him. There are many other family names to choose from.

Oliver? The olive branch is a symbol of peace, so would go quite well with Harmony!

Milo? Or your DHs name?

Are you a fan of Robinson Crusoe or The Swiss Family Robinson, maybe you could do something with that.

Joseph Crusoe Robinson
Joseph William/Fritz/Franz Robinson

Or maybe another music themed name Allegro, Chord, Lyric, Tempo, Jazz, Reed.

Or another virtue type name so Justice, Journey, Earnest, Worth, Merit.

I have a Joseph Milo! Lovely name Grin

Spooky, I'd never use that name but it just popped into my head. I must have been on your wavelength for a second.

We were going to go with Joseph Marc though I guess that is not unusual enough for you...

How about:
Cormac
Tate
Ellis
Monty
Hendrix
Darwin
Carlton
Wilson
Romeo
Xander
Harris
Flynn
Casper
