Middle name for Jake

Decided on the name Jake (not Jacob!), but stuck a middle name.

Surname is Anthony. I love the name Leon but not sure that would work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Leon would work

My Jake's middle name is William.

Since Jake is 1 syllable and Anthony is 3, I think a 2 syllable middle name would sound really nice and flow well- Leon is fine but perhaps the -on ending sounds slightly off with the -on in Anthony? Leo might work better. Other options:

Joseph (my fave since then he could be JJ, very cute on a little one!)
Michael
David
Edward
Thomas
Peter
Wilfred

Leon is fine but if you still want other suggestions

Thank you, some really good suggestions here!

Do you think Jake Oliver would work or would it be a bit of a mouthful?

I love the suggestion of Elias.

Jake Elias Anthony sounds lovely

Jake Oliver Anthony sounds great.
Gives him the initials JO for a nn when he’s older and maybe wants a change

Jake is a great name. I think I would pair it with a long name.
