So my son is almost 6 weeks and naming him has been impossible.
We've finally settled on Jasper for his first name but he still has no middle name and I'm out of time. He has to be registered tomorrow!
We don't have a family name to use.
We have a few ideas but nothing I am 100% on
I like Eddie, kids like Harry, Husband likes Nicholas.

What is the perfect middle name for Jasper?????

If you're not bothered, I'd let the kids pick. They'll be so proud

As a youngest child, I'd really advise strongly against this I'd have been furious if my older siblings had named me. I would never have gotten over it. A random name would be better. Jasper James. Jasper Claude. Jasper Alexander. Anything.

Jasper is a great name. Congratulations on your new son!

All three are handsome.
Jasper Nicholas 10/10
Jasper Edward 9/10
Jasper Harry 8/10 - I hear Jass Parry

Also consider Jasper Charles 10/10

I think you should only use a middle name if it has meaning for you. Otherwise there is no point. My two girls have a grandmother's name each as their middle name. I just thought it was a nice way to remember the grannies.

Jasper Nicholas: That's nice. Does it go with your surname?

Eddie = it seems very nickname-y. I dislike it. Jasper Edward unfortunately makes me think of Twilight (I guess that depends on one's age and definitely won't be an issue for this generation).

Jasper Harry sounds really good as well. Yet again, does it go with the surname?

I would probably use the kid's suggestion in your case. I was the one to suggest my little sister's first name (family name, fairly traditional). I was so incredibly pleased when they picked it!
