Oooh … [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Emerson[/name]. [name]Love[/name] it. I voted for [name]Nathanael[/name], but I much prefer it spelled [name]Nathaniel[/name]. I love that it gives you the literary middle name connection. And [name]Nathaniel[/name] seems on par with [name]Emerson[/name] in terms of rank of popularity (well-known, but not super popular).

I like the literary connection as well. We like the common spelling ending in …iel as well, however, we were going with a biblical connection with [name]Nathanael[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name].

I love [name]Malachi[/name] paired with [name]Owen[/name]. The flow is fantastic and it’s so much more stylish, dramatic and interesting than [name]Nathaniel[/name]/ [name]Nathanael[/name].

Another vote for [name]Malachi[/name]. I love the name [name]Nathaniel[/name], but (being picky here) it does run together with the N in [name]Owen[/name]. [name]Malachi[/name] really gives [name]Owen[/name] some edge. I find [name]Malachi[/name] so magical. I kind of conflate the angel and the deep green striated mineral malachite, and I end up imagining this dark green forest messenger angel. [name]Owen[/name] [name]Malachi[/name] is earthy in the best way.
