Middle name help please!

[wendy33]

Im having trouble thinking of a middle name for a boy to go with Max. Our surname is one syllable also.
Any suggestions will be greratly appreciated!

The middle name for our DD was simply my first name - would that work with your DP's name?

I'd go for something with more than one syllable then. And no S sounds at the start.

Agree, you need more than one syllable - what about something like William, Oliver, Benjamin, Christopher?

if you can't think of one you like ask yourself do you really need one?

I don't have a middle name and can't say I miss it!

otoh all my 3 have middle names and ds1 has 2!

You need a middle name to tell your children off. Mine have 2 heach and depending how many names are used, they know how naughty they're been :o

I keep thinking of Alexander.

I think a short first-and-surname combo sounds good with a two-syllable middle name - Edward springs immediately to mind, but others of that ilk (Thomas, Daniel, David, Andrew, Harry) work just as well.

Would avoid single syllables (eg Max Jack), or anything too long (Max Christopher, Max Alexander), although for some reason Max Jonathon and Max William sound rather nice.

I like Max Oliver

I thought Lucas but now not too sure!

I think that works.

strangely enough I know a 6mo called Lucas Max...

I like max oliver too

wendy33 - max lucas is nice but it's not just in your head because of matt lucas from little britain is it?!

reminds me of Matt Lucas too! Like William and Oliver - what about Finlay or Harvey?

How about the letter "P"? That way he gets the whole middle initial thing, he can choose a name when he's older if he doesn't like Max, and he's also an original! Anyone else who's read the world according to garp will know roughly what i mean.
