Middle name to go with Ezekiel

So we really like Ezekiel as a first name, but struggling to think of a middle name... Our surname is single syllable so not worried about it being too long. Hubbie likes William as a middle name but I'm not quite convinced, any suggestions?

Ezekiel? Really?

Can you try spending a week introducing yourself to strangers as Ezekiel and see what reactions you get before giving the name to a child?

Ezekiel is a lovely name! What about something like David.. quite classic but strong enough to match the first name.

Harsh crunchtime! Lol, yes we like it :)

@crunchtime are you always so anti Semitic? Not every person asking about a name on mumsnet is a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. As an Israeli Jew, Ezekiel is not an uncommon name and has great meaning and history.

I don’t know why, but Brian came to mind.

Jerry?

I like it, also like Ezra!

I think William goes really well and isnt too Biblical for balance.

Unless you are after Biblical in which case David sounds fab!

Ezekiel is lovely. One of mine is called Ezekiel. His middle name is Matthew.

Cosmoa · 17/10/2018 17:58

We were gonna go with Ezekiel Zachariah so we could use Zeke Zach as a nn 😁

I love the name Ezekiel and it will be on my short list if I ever have DS2. I would use the middle name Henry as it also has family connections. Otherwise, I think pretty much anything goes with it really. James? Gregory? Charles? Theodore?

Ezekiel Richard
Ezekiel George

Roger.

Ezekiel Zane was my first thought

auntyflonono · 17/10/2018 18:11

I like Ezekiel Theodore!

ShalomJackie · 17/10/2018 18:23

Zeke Zach wins! Grin

sadnessin · 17/10/2018 18:31

I'm not sure why but Clay sprang to mind and is refusing to leave. Which is strange.

Ezekiel Clay
Ezekiel Klay

Ezekiel Jude
Ezekiel Mark
Ezekiel Flynn
Ezekiel Joe

IHeartKingThistle · 17/10/2018 18:36

I agree with 3seconds that it would sound best with a one syllable middle name.

Ray?
Kit?
John?
Clem?
Jake?

Cosmoa · 17/10/2018 18:54

@ShalomJackie lol right? Zeke Zach for the win! We ended up having a girl so someone has to use it!

BillywilliamV · 17/10/2018 18:58

You all need to climb out of your own bottoms ..poor child!

MrsCLRoff · 17/10/2018 19:05

I think William goes really well!

ViserionTheDragon · 17/10/2018 19:06

Another vote for David

crunchtime · 17/10/2018 19:08
Hmm
KarlDilkington · 17/10/2018 19:15

Nothing to say clearly. Perhaps broaden your horizons a tad.
