Middle name for Oz

We have chosen the Hebrew name Oz for our baby (thanks for helping with that in a previous thread!)and just wondered if you have any thoughts on middle names?

So far I have:

Oz William
Oz Atticus
Oz Theodore

Our surname is two syllables and foreign sounding!

It seems difficult to for a one syllable first name to a middle name as we are so used to tacking one syllable middle names (James, John, Anne, Grace, Rose, Jane, Jack, May etc!) onto longer first names.

But, as I'm guessing you aren't going to say them together much anyway, I'd go for Oz Theodore I think. Also like William and Atticus though.

If you are going to say them together I'd probably flip the names around and put Oz in the middle.

Also, how about:
Oz Alexander
Oz Eduardo
Oz Ibrahim
Oz Israel
Oz Jeramiah
Oz Joachim
Oz Nathaniel
Oz Nicholas
Oz Sebastian
Oz Zachariah
Oz Zephaniah

Oz Benjamin
Oz Daniel
Oz Edward
Oz Jonathan
Oz Lucas
Oz Maximilian
Oz Reuben

I think you need to avoid names starting with a vowel as the names kind of run together......I hear "Ozatticus" with Atticus.

I like William and Theodore.

Ooh except for Oz Alezander, I think that flows really nicely.

Attic us. If only for Mockingbird!

Haha, Panda had similar ideas to me! BlushGrin

I like 2 syllable names after Oz -
Oz Lucas
Oz Jacob
Oz Peter

Of your choices in the op, I like Oz William best, it runs best together.

Cool - the Wizard of Oz!!

You rarely use middle names so choose whatever you like best. I think a 3 syllable middle name works best
Oz Atticus
Oz Theodore
