Boys middle name help please

[Firsttimebabymummy]

I have an old post on first names but baby is finally here and I've settled on Laurence as the first name.
His big sister is Alexandra and he was going to be a Max (Maxwell) or Charlie until he came.
Surname is a 2 syllable ending in 'son'.

So far I like
James and Charles (related s sound though?)
David
Maxwell
Benedict - too long?

Please let me know your thoughts or suggestions :) thank you!

Of your options I would choose Benedict, it provides a nice contrast after the soft flowing sounds of Lawrence.

Otherwise have you considered Arlo

From your choices I think David is best, but I know a really lovely Laurence Gregory.

They all flow fine, I actually like Benedict best!

Laurence Maxwell

I prefer David

My favourite is ..
Laurence Benedict
Then ..
Laurence Charles
Laurence David

David

Benedict is the best.
it is not too long.
I have DS and his middle name is Benedict and he is fantastic.
i congratulate you on your great taste.

My vote goes to Laurence David. I like Maxwell too.

Laurence Owen

I like Benedict

But… middle names are not compulsory. I haven’t got one, neither have my Dc.

I like all of yours with the exception of Maxwell.

You can’t go wrong with a Laurence James or a Laurence Charles.

It depends on the surname. Laurence Jackson sounds ok, Laurence Charles Jackson a bit S-heavy. Same goes for James.
I don't like Benedict or Maxwell.

Middle names rarely get used. James as a middle name is a filler, so I'd avoid it.

Laurence David Johnson/Jackson etc. works well, and avoids too many 'S' sounds all in one name. I love Alexandra's name, too!

Laurence Benedict flows so well

Laurence David.

I also like Laurence Peter

I love Laurence! Maxwell is my fave of your options, then James. It's all about forename surname IRL though and they all flow well so just pick the one you like most in its own right.

Thank you! :)

We've had mixed reactions from family about his name but I love it!
You're right.We went with Charles as it has meaning to us.<3
