Avoid [name]William[/name] as there is a chance that he may be called [name]Billy[/name] Barkoeak the B alliteration doesn’t sound good to me.
I love [name]James[/name] [name]Owen[/name], it is very handsome but I voted for [name]Jude[/name] Truett because I think it makes a really good match.
rollo
I voted [name]Jude[/name] [name]Tyler[/name]. While I adore both Truett and [name]Jude[/name], and would have loved to vote for [name]Jude[/name] Truett (or even something like Truett [name]William[/name]/Truett [name]Jack[/name]/Truett [name]Jude[/name]), I found it very hard to say [name]Jude[/name] Truett–the D sort of melts into the T, and the two U sounds are so close to each other. Truett [name]Jude[/name] works a bit better, but I think something like [name]Jude[/name] [name]William[/name] or Truett [name]William[/name] would work better. Or even [name]Jude[/name] [name]Owen[/name] or Truett [name]Owen[/name].
Good luck!
Good point, ashthedreamer! Thanks
I like [name]James[/name] [name]Owen[/name] best with your last name. [name]William[/name] (and this is just my opinion) sounds okay with your last name’s pronunciation, but I like the short, strong, one-syllable-d name [name]James[/name] with it better. I really like [name]Jude[/name] as a name, but [name]James[/name] stands out more to me (when said with your last name) than [name]Jude[/name] does (for me, the d of [name]Jude[/name] blends with the B of your last name, and you miss the effect of the hard d sound in [name]Jude[/name]. if that makes any sense?)
Whichever way you choose, all are lovely names. Congratulations on your baby boy!
I voted for [name]James[/name] [name]Owen[/name]. With your uncommon, longish three-syllable last name, I think an uncomplicated one-syllable first name is ideal. I also think the flow is best with your last name.
My vote is wholeheartedly on [name]Jude[/name], but I would also put [name]Taylor[/name] as an option for his middle name. I like Truett and [name]Tyler[/name] but [name]Taylor[/name] being so close also comes to mind and flows well. 
But I think [name]Jude[/name] sounds amazing with the last name.
THe one that really stood out for me was [name]William[/name]. I absolutely love the name. I voted for [name]William[/name] [name]Todd[/name] but [name]William[/name] [name]Jude[/name] is another great name. Also I like [name]James[/name] [name]Owen[/name] just not as much as [name]William[/name].
[name]Bree[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Jude[/name] is great!
I voted for [name]James[/name] [name]Owen[/name], but I like [name]William[/name] [name]Todd[/name] as well.
