hi, berries!

what would you choose for a middle name for a boy named [name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]?

maybe something that doesn’t start with m, but a name that has an m in the middle of it?

I like folk-y, hipster, nature-inspired or classic names!

do you like the name [name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]?

thanks for the help!!!

I’m not a fan of the combo or the name [name_m]Ames[/name_m]. [name_m]Ames[/name_m] makes me think of old stores like Filene’s and Kmart. The combo seems a little “am” heavy. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is great though!

Is [name_m]Graham[/name_m] the last name? I’d probably choose a three syllable middle name to make a good flow, like [name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] or [name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Ames[/name_m] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m] but not together. It sounds choppy since they’re both one syllable.

Whoops, I didn’t even consider that!

Oh, okay! I would choose a longer first name so that the full name has a better flow to it. Some other names ending in S are [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Linus[/name_m], [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. I think those all sound nice with the last name [name_m]Graham[/name_m].

How do you pronounce [name_m]Graham[/name_m]? I’ve heard “gram” and “GRAY-um.”
Either way though, I think a name with at least two, probably three, syllables and no prominent “m” will flow best. If you use the “GRAY-um” pronounciation, then I’d also avoid the “ay” sound.
Maybe something like…
[name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ames[/name_m] [name_u]Romilly[/name_u]

Really nice name. REminds me of [name_u]Rev[/name_u]. [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Ames[/name_m] from the [name_m]Gilead[/name_m] books ([name_f]Marilynne[/name_f] [name_m]Robinson[/name_m]). A really great character.
[name_m]Ames[/name_m] is a city in Iowa and just generally has nice sounds/tone.
