With [name]William[/name]… If you have a two-syllable last name, I would use a one-syllable (or maybe three-syllable) middle name. For example, if your last name was a two-syllable name like [name]Carter[/name]… [name]William[/name] [name]Paul[/name] [name]Carter[/name] would flow better than [name]William[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Carter[/name]. If you have a one-syllable last name, like [name]Day[/name], [name]William[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Day[/name] would sound better than [name]William[/name] [name]Paul[/name] [name]Day[/name]. [name]How[/name] many syllables in your last name?

Thanks for thoughts and other suggestions. Quite like [name]William[/name] [name]Jude[/name]!

@everwaiteing - syllables in last name would depend on future DH’s surname :stuck_out_tongue: I’m just playing with ideas- [name]William[/name] is first choice for a boy. I get your point though :slight_smile:

My favourite is [name]William[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] :slight_smile:

I voted [name]William[/name] [name]Peter[/name]. I liked [name]William[/name] [name]Reuben[/name] the best, but I didn’t like how it reminds me of bilirubin. :frowning:

What about [name]William[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]? I absolutely love that. :slight_smile: I also love the suggestion of [name]William[/name] [name]Ezra[/name], and I think [name]William[/name] [name]Caleb[/name] would be adorable, as well.

Good luck!

I have to agree that it depends on the number of syllables in the last name, but I like [name]William[/name] [name]Thomas[/name], [name]William[/name] [name]Paul[/name] and [name]William[/name] [name]Jude[/name].

Thanks for the feedback!

I think the number of surname syllables will be a definite consideration. Also, think it might be that if I’m so set on [name]William[/name], I could let the future DH have a say in the biblical middle name (with some gentle hints on the opinions of berries of course :slight_smile: )
