Van for a boy? And middle name ideas!

[Pebbles0934]

Hi I like Van for a boy but wanted to see opinions first as I know it's a big car etc! We like it from Van Morrison and also it is a name on its own in Vietnam meaning literature!
(However, I know it won't be to most people's taste)
If it's a name you think is ok, any middle name ideas?
Other name idea is Abel. But we already have a biblical boys name so didn't want to go with that trend really! Also have a daughter with a flowery girl name and a son with an unusual name similar to Cai.

Thanks for any input (not too harsh please!)

Nevan?

This post is probably too late, but I think it's a cool name. I hope you went for it.

Evander/Van = cool ! 😎

Van is OK.
I would avoid the following as middle names:
Rouge
Blanc
Driver
Morrison
der Valk
Esser
Itty
...

I love it! Cool, short, masculine. Unusual
Not weird.

My husband said no 😡

Just Van on its own. I think it loses punch as a shortening.

How about Van Huyer?

Old post but i'm having a baby and i also love the name Van because of Van Morrison.

Did you end up choosing Van?

Dd's a Van or Vanna short for Savannah. Fits her great and most family call her Van or Vanna. I think it works better as a NN.
