[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! We found out we are expecting another boy in [name_u]February[/name_u]. While we have a plethora of girl names, my husband and I are struggling to find a boy name(s). Naming our first born (Gideon Fox) was easy. I love the flow of his three syllable first name with the three letter nature/animal theme for his middle name. I’ve scoured lists of boy names and nothing is really jumping out at me. The only name we remotely like is [name_u]August[/name_u] (Gus for a nickname). Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

I think [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] & [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] would make a very handsome pair 
. Both have a strong and romantic feel to them, but still feel very usable for little boys. If you like the name [name_u]August[/name_u], I would suggest also considering [name_m]Augustin[/name_m], because [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] has a little bit more of that romantic flair to it. Either way, [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] & [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] or [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] & [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] would make a fabulous sibset, and I’m sure it would leave more than a few acquaintances jealous!
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] or [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], both work well. You could even call him [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] bear (at least until he’s old enough to be embarrassed).
I would swap [name_u]August[/name_u] for [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], but I love either one with Gideon!!

Great naming on you son, [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]Fox[/name_u] is perfect.
I love [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] together and love even more [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] and [name_u]Gus[/name_u]!
Sticking with a nature name for the middle, how about…
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Rivers[/name_u] (River singular sounds like an actual river to me)
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Wolf[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Bear[/name_m]
And my favorite [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Ridge[/name_m]
If you want more syllables like [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], have you considered Augustine/Augustin with [name_u]Gus[/name_u] as the nn?
[name_m]Augustin[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] [name_m]Ridge[/name_m]?
You’ve gotten so many great suggestions! I think [name_u]Gus[/name_u] and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] are so cute together. [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] has a nice flow. I also second the ideas of [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] son’s middle name is [name_u]Israel[/name_u], which I think is beautiful, if you wanted a Biblical choice like [name_m]Gideon[/name_m].
