I’ve been smitten with [name_m]Drake[/name_m] now for a while, he feels both very button-up and cozy to me, like he would love reading books on mama’s lap but also looks adorable dressed up like a little man, smart and sweet and kind and precocious. [name_f]Love[/name_f] the fantastical feeling I get from the “dragon” meaning, as well - brings to mind [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] and adventures of the best kind.

Would love to know what [name_m]Drake[/name_m] looks like in your head, and also… what middles would you pair with him? [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] has been the placeholder in my head, and I do like how strong and classic [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] feels with [name_m]Drake[/name_m], but it does feel sort of filler. Would love to know what you would pair with him as a middle.

Thanks, berries!

[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] has such strong, competent, mysterious yet warm vibes to it! I love it! We’d consider it if our last name wasn’t also one syllable and would sound choppy…

Maybe [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Callahan[/name_m], [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Maximus[/name_m], or [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Halloran[/name_m]?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t [name_m]Drake[/name_m] the name of a famous rapper? To me that’s what comes to mind…

In the US/Canada at least [name_m]Drake[/name_m] is a mononymous famous rapper. So it has more of that hip hop rapper vibe for me. Idk how popular he is across the pond though.

If he wasn’t so popular here, I can see the cozy button up sweater vibe, especially with the duck connection. And [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] does have a good flow.

[name_m]Drake[/name_m] makes me think of ducks, or someone a bit rough-round-the-edges, energetic, and outdoorsy but hardworking and good-hearted? I think a little [name_m]Drake[/name_m] might feel quite different - not sure, I don’t quite have a clear picture, but yours is compelling :slight_smile:

I would consider the middles:

[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Aneurin[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Elliott[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] Marloew
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Elouan[/name_m]

I recently met a little boy named [name_m]Drake[/name_m], and I love it on him! It’s made me really appreciate the name.

I like [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]! It sounds strong and sweet at the same time.

If you’d like other options, maybe:

[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]

I do think of the rapper but also one of my kids went to preschool with a [name_m]Drake[/name_m]- who everyone called “Drake the snake”
The kid seemed to like the nickname :woman_shrugging:t3:

Thanks everyone! I should’ve realized how strong the association would be with [name_m]Drake[/name_m] the rapper - I’m not into rap especially so I think more of ducks and [name_m]Sir[/name_m] [name_m]Francis[/name_m] [name_m]Drake[/name_m] and even [name_m]Drake[/name_m] Maye/Drake [name_f]London[/name_f] and [name_m]Chip[/name_m] & [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] Gaines’ son… I do recognize that people will probably think of [name_m]Drake[/name_m], but it didn’t really register that the association would be that strong.

I love the ideas of [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] & [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], thanks @somemelodioussonnet and @SarahMadelyn! Some of your other suggestions, like [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Arlo[/name_m] and [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] and [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], are interesting to me, and I’ll have to give them more thought. I do like the length of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] with [name_m]Drake[/name_m] that I don’t get with something like Adam/Arlo/Henry.
