Middle name for Emmett

I’ve been really liking the name Emmett lately, but I’m having trouble thinking of a good middle name to go with it. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Emmett is a lovely name!
How about Emmett Alexander or Emmett Christopher if you have a short surname.
Emmett Dale or Emmett Jake if you have a longer surname.

OliveBranch16 · 10/09/2021 20:48

Thank you! I have a shorter surname, so Emmett Christopher and Emmett Alexander both work well.

An emmet is an ant.
Slang for tourist.

Huh, I had no idea. I still like the name, but thank you for letting me know.

Emmet Johnathan x , Emmet Peter x Emmet Michael x Emmet Xavier x !

Yes definitely a word for tourists

OliveBranch16 · 10/09/2021 21:36

@KILNAMATRA, Thank you, I love Emmett Xavier!

@Borris and @ILoveShula, what area do you live in? I’ve never heard it used as a slang word, so I’m wondering if it’s just a regional thing.

I think something classic would go really nicely like Alexander or James.

OliveBranch16 · 10/09/2021 21:44

@Gmooh21, Thank you! I like both of those names.

I’ve never heard Emmett as a word for tourist - presumably it’s particular to the South West? I know a few Emmetts, all Irish.

Rainbowqueeen · 10/09/2021 21:45

Came on to say Christopher too

fuzzymoomin · 10/09/2021 21:46

Coming in with another suggestion: Emmett Nicholas
(also never heard of it as slang for tourists)

OliveBranch16 · 10/09/2021 21:47

@fuzzymoomin, Thank you! Emmett Nicholas is really nice.

OliveBranch16 · 10/09/2021 22:32

@GingerAndTheBiscuits, thank you, that would make more sense.

As a pp has said emmett means ant and is slang for tourist! I suppose if you avoid the West Country it might be okay!
