I like the idea of using [name_m]Austin[/name_m] as your son’s middle name. I love when people use family names.
I think using it as a first name might get kind of confusing. I’m not a fan of fathers giving their son’s their name either.
[name_m]Austin[/name_m] is an ok name but it’s one of those names where people can guess when you were born. It feels like it was the most popular about 15 years ago so I would guess an [name_m]Austin[/name_m] to be about 15 years old. Of course that won’t be the case with your son so it’s probably not a big deal.
I have always liked austin and i have only known one and he would be seventy now. It is a smart preppie name like preston mason and connor. I would definitely use it
