Due TOMORROW -- MN HELP!

Boy Names
1

Due tomorrow with DS2. First son is [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. His MN is named after my husband’s father (his middle name).

Top first name for this son is [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. I would like his middle to be named after my dad, but I’m not crazy about the options:

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - dont like the flow
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] - dont really care for [name_m]Allen[/name_m]

other options:

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m] - grandfather’s name, dont really care for it
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] - my husband’s MN, prefer to honor my family

I also thought about honoring my mom with his middle name. Her name is [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]…any good ideas?
I came up with:

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]

…but they feel like a stretch

Thanks in advance!

I have a [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]? I like the flow better than with [name_m]Nathan[/name_m]. I like all your options, but I would (and did) use a 1 or 3 syllable middle.

[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]

Might be a masculine alternative to [name_f]Ann[/name_f]? I do like the sound of [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] though and since it’s the middle name it will rarely be mentioned.

I like [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m], what about using [name_m]Allan[/name_m] or [name_m]Alan[/name_m] to honor you mom with the -an ending, or perhaps a bit of stretch as well.

Or perhaps something similar to [name_m]Henry[/name_m]: [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Henrik[/name_m].

Good luck!

I like [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m]!

[name_m]Henry[/name_m]: [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], [name_m]Heath[/name_m]

[name_m]Allen[/name_m]: [name_u]Alden[/name_u], [name_m]Alvin[/name_m], [name_u]Fallon[/name_u], [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_m]Lenny[/name_m], [name_u]Lennox[/name_u],

[name_m]Richard[/name_m]: [name_m]Dixon[/name_m], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] (same meaning), Ricken ([name_m]Richard[/name_m] + [name_m]Allen[/name_m]?)

If you know you heritage, you can look more at the other language forms of [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Allen[/name_m] & [name_m]Richard[/name_m].
Also if you know your family tree, surnames can be a good way to honour your family.

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]! :slight_smile:
