Middle name for James

I have reined in my more unusual tastes and we have more or less decided on James for #3. We want a longish middle name, ideally 3 or 4 syllables...surname has a double LL (so can't do anything with too many L's or will be a tongue twister!) and 3 syllables.

Other kids are Rose Amelia and Alexander William (quite outing but hey ho).

Any suggestions? I suggested James Montgomery but he isn't a fan, thinks it is pretentious. He has said I can choose, but would rather we both liked it!

I know, LastGirlOnTheLeft. It wouldn't be my choice . I just offered it as a suggestion due to op saying about having unusual taste (and the number of syllables).

I have spent a lot of time recently looking at the names outside the top 1000 for name inspiration.... However, didn't know it wasn't the character's real name as I have never seen the films!

Due to my job I hear a lot of middle names. There are so many wild middle name options. I think people get more adventurous because they aren't often used / known about.

Brilliant suggestions everyone, thanks! I know James isn't quite as exciting as many names discussed on here, but we like it. 😂 I'm going to make a short list for discussion later.

Taylor, sorry like the singer! How about a name like Anthony, Mathew?

Ferdinand just as cool as Montgomery but nicer somehow.

James Ferdie.
