Jacob
Joesph

What middle names do people think go best with these names please

Samuel
Thomas
Dominic
Henry
Francis

Choose a family name that means something to you - no one uses the middle name anyway so sound doesn’t matter

Edward James.

I have a James Edward

My sons first and middle names are on your list. I approve.

Edward John
Joseph William
Jacob Henry

Or
Edward Joseph
Joseph Edward

Yeah, pick one that means something to you. A much loved relative or even a favourite writer or rock star.

You don't really need a middle name

James for any of those

Thomas
William
Alexander

Edward was my dads brothers name who sadly passed away in his 30's. Ironically James is my dads name.
Edward James sounds nice.
What do people think of Edward Alan? My OH likes Edward Alan.

Joesph is a new one.
Middle name depends on the surname
If your surname is quite common, the middle name might be used.
How about something you like or a family name.
you could use one of the three names as a middle name

Edward Jacob Happen
Joseph Edward Happen
Jacob Andrew Happen etc

Edward James is nicer and has a good family link. I'd assume a middle name Alan was a nod to a family member and would be surprised to find it was picked just because the parents liked it. It's a bit.....Alan-y.

The surname is quite long, not so common. It's 4 syllables

So probably needs a 1 syllable middle name. But defiantly would like to have a middle name.

Yes Alan was my OH grandads name

Edward James Happenington
Jacob Charles Happenington
Joseph Mark Happenington
Edward Rex Happenington
Joseph Alexander Happenington
Edward Alan Happenington

I like Alan too. It's sort of normal and inoffensive compared to the godawful names that seem to be doing the rounds at the moment.

Love Joseph Alexander!
Joseph Alan
Edward Alan
Edward James

All sound great.
